As I can see, it does not run 'slowly', but fails to run...

My attempt is not to use Bean, but just to learn how to use buildtool, and I 
chose Bean because it was in the gap, so I thought it should be easy to make... 
Obviously, it is not.

Here is a debug report :

Reading symbols from Bean.app/Bean...done.

So maybe Bean is not a good example to test and understand buildtool.
Is there any other example well tested by the community I could try ?
