Very good, thanks Carsten...I was assuming there were classes in the top directory.

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!
