that's not the way it works, because after deleting all files in "build" this dir is
empty and will be deletet too, the correct (tested) way is:
<delete includeEmptyDirs="false">
<fileset dir="build" excludes="."/>
</delete>

I'm no Ant guru and you will probably get a better answer to your question
but I believe it has to do with the way your delete task is set up...you
specified the top-level directory...I think the below task would work...
<target name="clean">
<delete includeEmptyDirs="true">
<fileset dir="${dir_classes}">
<include name="**/*.*/>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>

Subject: Ant newbie - simple question
First my complaint: this is trivial using make!
Now the question: Why does the following seemingly
simple and straight-forward ant xml
script _not_ remove the subdirs under the
classes dir (Windows NT OS)? Thanks in advance.
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${dir_classes}/*"/>
</target>
NOTE: ** after the / doesn't work either!
