I have noticed a similar problem with every java IDE I have tried. When you delete a .java source file that other classes depend on, the compiler does not complain because the .class file still exists. The solution would be to make sure that whenever one class is marked as "dirty", all of the classes the reference it are marked "dirty" as well. That way, even classes that weren't modified get recompiled when they should.
