I know this warning message from some historical Java files that use
multiple classes in the same source file.  This warning is issued when
a package private class is out of date that lives in a source file
that has a differenet name than its source file.

And has the same name as the class file (minus extension) and the same
case and is located in a proper directory hierarchy matching its
package?

Are you using the closure attribute?  Ant may know that a class your
class depends on is out of date.

If Ant can't find it, it can't delete it.
