If you got a .cvsignore file where are located your .class files, and if
your .cvsignore contains "*.class", then the import will ignore them.
The WinCvs import dialog doesn't handle the .cvsignore (this is missing
feature) but cvs will.
There is no way to force anyone to do something with cvs as a general
manner. The WinCvs import dialog let you ignore the .class files if you
wish by double-clicking and setting the ".class" entry to "Ignore".

alex.
