        Not to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong, but cvs 
update will only check subdirectories that cvs knows about.  So as
long as the "build" directory isn't checked into cvs then you won't
see any ?'s for files inside of it.  The worst you will see is a
"? build" when its parent directory is checked.

        I routinely set up my own projects this way and I never see
?'s for .class files.

        That doesn't make any of your other points less valid.  I
just wanted to clear that up.
