It works, I like it! I by no means have the final word, but may I
suggest a few changes?

Functionally it does the same thing. I prefer to use classes, it's more
of name for what is going in the directory. Also, a few IDEs that
compile into separate directories (i.e. JBuilder) use "src" and
"classes" so this name will make it easier for those lazy developers
that use an IDE. (Ooooh, I feel flame coming on...)

Compiling doesn't necessarily depend on Javadoc's being generated, but
it does depend on the other two. It also can be time consuming to
recreate the Javadocs every time you compile.
