CompilationUnit: Get path of .class file from CompilationUnit

[msteinbeck]

Is it possible to get the file path of the class file of a compilation unit? If not, would you mind if I would add such a feature?

Sounds interesting. What method do you propose?

[msteinbeck]

I'm looking for a method like this:

...
public List<File> getBinaryFiles() {
    // for each type declaration return .class file
}
...

This allows me to delete outdated .class files with ease. I need this for my incremental compilation approach where I'm extracting outdated files and compile them by adding the unchanged .class files to the classpath. Since a single .java file might be compiled to several .class files, getBinaryFiles should return a list of files.
