Auto generating java files how to stop

Hi,

I set up some subversion folders as follows

myWebApp
- custom
  - source
    - com
      ...
WEB-INF
  - classes
    - com
      ...

Now, I have other files I had to add that are not version controlled,
including class files that go in the classes folder. I am not version
controlling the class files for my source. Those are being generated
when I build.

Why does subversion see my class files and then say that the java files
are missing? This is SO lame. I thought subversion is just a folder,
so why is it concerning itself with the fact that I don't have my source
in the same folder? When I do an update, it pushes all my source files
from "custom/src" to "WEB-INF/classes" next to the class files I
generate when I compile. This is completely unasked for. I have no
source in subversion under WEB-INF AT ALL.

It's like it is looking at my folder structure and saying "Oh look, you
have your source files up here. That must be a mistake, we'll duplicate
them down here in this folder for you." It is creating all kinds of
havoc and conflicts.

What can I do?
