You are correct that I have my eclipse output directed to target/classes.
However, shouldn't buildr still detect that my test source file was edited
and recompile that test regardless of where my eclipse output is?

I wonder if Eclipse only updates the last-modified timestamp on the test
java file and forgets to update the last-modified timestamp on the folder
containing that file.  Would that cause this kind of behavior in Buildr?
