The "copying support files" feature is one of the selling-points of ANT (at least for me), that I don't need to know all the details about setting up the "classes" directory. I like that "javac" is totally self-contained. Is there a situation where you would want to compile classes but not copy over the .properties file(s) used by those classes?
