Subject: rakefile gives syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end

I want to make run dependant on the compile and cat tasks, but don't seem 
to have the syntax quite correct:

thufir@arrakis:~/foo$ 
thufir@arrakis:~/foo$ rake run
(in /home/thufir/foo)
rake aborted!
/home/thufir/foo/rakefile.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting 
$end
task :run => :compile :cat do
                       ^

(See full trace by running task with --trace)
thufir@arrakis:~/foo$ 
thufir@arrakis:~/foo$ cat rakefile.rb 


task :run => :compile :cat do
        system("java ArrayOfStrings")
end

task :cat do
        system("cat ArrayOfStrings.java")
end


task :compile => :clean do
        system("javac ArrayOfStrings.java")
end


task :clean do
        FileUtils.rm_rf("*.class")
end
thufir@arrakis:~/foo$ 



thanks,
