I'm surprised if that's the case, normally it would indeed overwrite
it. I think your problem could be that you have
<xdoclet destdir="${build.ejb}">
and
<fileset dir="${build.ejb}">
which means that the file that was generated on the previous run would
also be picked up as a source file for the subsequent generations.
Depending on what your template is doing (and the fact that your
destinationFile doesn't contain a {0} placeholder means that it's
generating a single class from all the source fileset, including the
previous version of itself!) that could cause all sorts of weirdness...
