clean results in everything disappearing that is not part of the checked-in code. Notably, this means that the third-party components also disappear. > So "ant clean compile-gwt" that I just did would then be just "delete > everything, then compile just the gwt bit" ? Common code should be automatically pulled where necessary by the compiler. I wouldn't expect "ant clean compile-gwt" to work though, as the third-party items (e.g. junit) won't be present. I would expect "ant clean get-third-party compile-gwt" to succeed though... Ali
