For a final build, you want to start with a clean tree anyway, so javac's inability to correctly detect if a dependency is out of date is irrelevant. Also, my experience is that unless you're paying Sun significant amounts of $$, their reaction to bug reports is to close their eyes, hum real loud and hope they go away.
