Yes, I think running `ant jar' also triggers `ant clean', which looks like =
this:

  <target name=3D"clean"
          description=3D"Remove autogenerated files and directories.">
    <delete dir=3D"${target}"/>
    <delete verbose=3D"true">
      <fileset dir=3D"${basedir}" includes=3D"*.jar"/>
      <fileset dir=3D"${basedir}" includes=3D"*.zip"/>
    </delete>
  </target>

To be safe, we also have the 'remove-jar phase, which removes all jar
files recursively.=20

However, looking at the debian package
<https://packages.debian.org/sid/clojure1.6>, clojure does contains
bundled dependencies. Should we package them seperately?

Also, looking at the debian copyright file
<http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/c/clojure1.6/clojure=
1.6_1.6.0+dfsg-1_copyright>,
it seems there is 1 file licenses under CPL1.0 which is unmentioned in
the README. Are EPL and CPL compatible?
