Yes, I understand that. I was entertaining this idea based on a strange build requirement. I may never use this, but still wanted to know the best way to do it if I decide to go forward on this.

I tried to delete all of the class files based on the list of java files using a mapper but it keeps telling me that delete doesn't support the nested mapper element. Is there an easy way to do this? KM Normally you just arrange your directory structure you you can delete all the class files in a directory. With take command you can write a script to delete class files that match given java files.
