You can define ant target called clean (say) that would remove all the compiled class files. And in your ant target compile (say) specify the target clean as dependency.

Not immediately. You usually deal with it by removing everything and recompiling.

Most IDE's do this transparently, however, so you don't have to handle this yourself. Any particular reason you are not using an IDE?
