Yes, and the sourcepath too, but I don't think the sources in those
paths are re-parsed to grab class definitions on each build, which is
where the problem stems for, but are instead parsed on an as needed
basis, with the classes available being presumed to map 1-to-1 to the
list of .java files in the sourcepath.

Sure, if you end up reporting it, please keep me posted.  I'm curious
about what the intended behavior here is.

Thanks.
