Subject: Too many files for the ANT build HELP!!

I am currently using VSS as source code tool.  There is a lot of legacy code in VSS that we don't really use any more but I don't really know what to keep and what to trash.  So, when I do a recursive get from VSS I seem to get MORE THAN enough files for make the build.  Then I spend more time deleting files/directories from my ANT project than it takes to make the build.  How do I get ANT to consistently only take the files necessary for the build .  Oh yeah, I have asked development about which files are needed and they don't know either.  They tell me to go back to Visual Cafe for the build.
 
Please let me know what I am doing wrong and how to get ANT fixed once and for all.
 
At first you need to tell us seomthing more about your environment:
 
- what JDK are you using to run Ant
- which Compiler
- Are you sure the problem is (if I understood that correctly) too many files for the compiler? Why?
