Erik & Konstantin, Thanks for the feedback. I'm already doing that for the generated classes, so I'll just go ahead and do it for the descriptors as well.

Why not just generate the output to your ${build.dir} or some subdirectory thereof? Being able to do a clean build by deleting a single directory is very much an Ant best practice that I recommend you stick with.
