Well, I don't think you are doing anything wrong, I just wouldn't do it the
same way ;-) By that I mean that you either define your <patternset> outside
<copy> with an id, and refid it from <copy>, or you define it locally inside
<copy> and thus don't need to assign it an id. So I'd do either:
<project name="test" default="clean" basedir=".">
<target name="clean" description="clean package">
<delete>
<fileset dir="."
includes="name="**/*.class" />
</delete>
</target>
</project>
or
<project name="test" default="clean" basedir=".">
<patternset id="all_class_files">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</patternset>
<target name="clean" description="clean package">
<delete>
<fileset dir=".">
<patternset refid="all_class_files" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
</project>
the second form being better if you indeed use that same <patternset> in a
<copy> or <move> task in the same build file (or any other task using the
<patternset>. Otherwise the first is better IMHO.
By thinking about it, a clean target usually deletes the directory
containing the classes rather than the classes individually as you seem to
be doing. Then again, your <fileset> starts from "." instead of a usually
classes directory (classes/ or lib/classes/), so you might be doing
something not that usual.

Subject: Patternset - overriding previous definition problem
With a build.xml file such as the following
<project name="test" default="clean" basedir=".">
<target name="clean" description="clean package">
<delete>
<fileset dir=".">
<patternset id="all_class_files">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</patternset>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
</project>
when it is run you receive the message "Overriding previous definition of
reference to all_class_files" which is not the case. I have used this same
style patternset within copy rather than delete blocks and not gotten this
message. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
