I don't really know what a ClearCase shop is (my collegue thought you made 
transparent (mac-like) computer cases -- LOL), but I'll take your word it 
is something of high-standing.

Thats not wanted; the tool creates .java files; I have to extend from them. 
I re-use member variables from the generated file. I really like to be able 
to open that file in my editor next to the extending class.  It makes it a 
lot harder when I have to go to a seperate dir.
Suffice to say; moving the files out is not an option.

Offcource I don't :)

Is it possible to add multiple lines for the 'junk' target in the 
{arch}/=tagging-method file ?
That would be the easiest solution; but something similar like .cvsignore 
files would also be fine.
