Should be a task to clean out stale test module JARs--i.e. XXXXXNNNNN-test.jar where XXXXX.jar is the JAR built by the build script and there is a newer test JAR. So for example in apisupport/build.xml's clean: <cleanstaletestjars> <fileset dir="test"> <include name="apisupport.jar"/> <include name="apisupport-ant.jar"/> <include name="apisupport-lite.jar"/> </fileset> </cleanstaletestjars> This would remove any apisupportNNNNN-test.jar, apisupport-antNNNNN-test.jar, or apisupport-liteNNNNN-test.jar which was not the newest of its category (leave the basic JAR and the newest test JAR in case they are still in use by a running IDE). Otherwise the clean target does not remove sometimes dozens of potentially large JARs which is annoying and wastes disk space.
