[Eap-list] Clearing Cache

[Bryan Young]

I have a problem with IDEA that shows up in every other IDE I use.  It seems to me to be fairly simple to fix:   When I remove a java file (from the IDE), the corresponding class file remains in the cache.  This can cause errors that are very difficult to track down.  As a general rule, whenever I get the urge to throw my laptop against the wall, the first thing I do, is delete the cache and completely rebuild the code.    As smart as IDEA is about removing files from CVS and keeping track of dependencies, I would think this is a problem I shouldn't have to deal with anymore.  Could the next version of IDEA be modified to remove unnecessary class files from its cache?  Maybe it could do this when files are renamed or moved from within the IDE.
