[Bug classpath/25760] File("mydir").list() returns null instead of File[]

Throwing an exception would be nice, but is AFAICS is prohibited by
the spec.  The spec says that this method returns null if the File
is not a directory or if an I/O error occurs... a mistake, but one
I think have have to live with :-(

I do agree that the VMs should implement class GC.  That they do
not is a bug.  However, even with class GC the ant approach is
not guaranteed to work -- good thing your cleanup patch went in :-)
