Hello,

I am on a macbook sequoia and am trying to build fitnesse20250223 from the sources pulled from github (I downloaded the zip file of source).
I have java 11 (openjdk installed) and run gradlew but it does not build the source. I ran ./gradlew build and it appers to have compiled the java into .class files but hangs up in some sort of infinite loop creating the jar file which just keeps expanding infinitely in size and gradle never returns. Not sure what I might be doing wrong. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Seems to work fine on the source when I use git clone. Any reason the source when from the github download zip file behaves differently?
