Ant newbie - simple question

First my complaint: this is trivial using make!

Now the question: Why does the following seemingly
simple and straight-forward ant xml
script _not_ remove the subdirs under the
classes dir (Windows NT OS)? Thanks in advance.

	<target name="clean">
		<delete dir="${dir_classes}/*"/>
	</target>

NOTE: ** after the / doesn't work either!

what is the command in make
and why cannot one use it in ant?
