wouldn't that delete the "new" sources that follow your new layout or
is <rmdir> a shortcut for a task that knows which files to delete and
which to leave alone?

I think so - especially since the if attribute doesn't make any sense
unless the copy-setup target has been run, there is a logical
dependency between these two targets - much stronger than between your
copy-setup and the compile target IMHO.

I don't think so - some creative use of multiple <src> elements in
<javac> or two separate <javac>s together with includes on the <javac>
task(s) seems better to me - don't copy sources at all.
