I checked out the branch http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.3.1
I don't have "svn" on my machine (I use TortioseSVN instead) so the build.xml lines that run svn to check the version of SVN crashed on my machine. A simple commenting out fixed this. I noticed that the version.txt file had an extra carrage return in it that caused "ant min" to fail to complete the min build. After removing the extra carrage return the build min build finished. Hasn't anyone else noticed this. I'm using java 1.6.0_11-b03 to do the build with. When I try to run the "Automated Test Suite" I get an exception in the JavaScript interpreter: C:\dev\jquery>ant -v runtest Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008 Buildfile: build.xml Detected Java version: 1.6 in: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\jre Detected OS: Windows XP parsing buildfile C:\dev\jquery\build.xml with URI = file:/C:/dev/ jquery/build.xml Project base dir set to: C:\dev\jquery [antlib:org.apache.tools.ant] Could not load definitions from resource org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml.
