[jira] (MASSEMBLY-752) [PATCH] Option to ignore empty directories on fileSet directory

     [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-752?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Guillaume Boué updated MASSEMBLY-752:
-------------------------------------

    Description: 
When the directory attribute of fileSets contains empty directories, it would be nice to have an option to ignore them.

======= Actual behaviour =======

Considering the structure :
src/
       +-- folder1/file.txt
       +-- folder2/

with the following fileSet in assembly.xml :
<fileSet>
    <directory>src</directory>
    <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>

the assembly-plugin produces, as of today :
/folder1/file.txt
/folder2

Note that the empty directory folder2 is present in the assembly.

======= Proposed enhancement =======

With this enhancement, it would be possible to have the following in assembly.xml :
<fileSet>
    <directory>src</directory>
    <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
    <includeEmptyDirectories>false</includeEmptyDirectories>
</fileSet>

and the resulting assembly would be :
/folder1/file.txt

Note that folder2 would not be present inside the assembly because it is empty.

Attached is a patch adding the attribute "includeEmptyDirectories" to fileSet element in assembly.xml file. For backward compatibility, the default value of this attribute is true.
