Oracle 10g & Recycle Bin

Oracle 10g has a concept of Recycle Bin which is part of the Flashback feature, where in if a table is deleted it goes to recycle bin. To delete it permanently use the purge command. The contents of Recycle bin can also be viewed and deleted.
I had an issue with this feature. Since we generate Java classes for the tables in a given schema, these recycle bin tables also got included and since these recycle bin tables had lot of special chars, it created problems in class names !!
