Generate this files into a source path instead of to the output dir?

Uncheck Project Properties->Compiler->Synchronize output directory.

Of course, class files from deleted/renamed/... java files will also remain
in the output dir.

I think that some people have this problem (I don't :), so maybe a check box
for "Synchronize .class files only" would be useful.
