<p>This task will drop all entries that point to non-existant
files/directories from the CLASSPATH it passes to the compiler.</p>
+<p><strong>Windows Note:</strong>When the modern compiler is used
+in unforked mode on Windows, it locks up the files present in the
+classpath of the <javac> task, and does not release them. The side
+effect of this is that you will not be able to delete or move
+those files later on in the build. The workaround is to fork when
+invoking the compiler.</p>
