The assertion that the test is currently expecting is thrown when the `EndPosTable` gets set a second time, and this change means that no longer results in an exception. If desired `JavacTask#parse` could be updated to explicitly check if it is called twice and fail, instead of indirectly relying on the `EndPosTable` for that.

Also the test logic didn't handle platform specific line ending variations correctly, so I updated it to work on windows now that end positions are present.

Looks good to me, thanks!
