Re: How can I exclude a directory's contents but not the directory itself?
I think your question includes the answer. It's the exclude parameter.

Subject: How can I exclude a directory's contents but not the directory itself?
Sent: 1 Feb 2010 20:53
I have a directory structure that looks like so:
apache-tomcat-6.0.20/
|-- LICENSE
|-- NOTICE
|-- ...
|-- bin
| |-- bootstrap.jar
| |-- ...
|-- conf
|-- lib
|-- logs
| |-- catalina.2010-01-13.log
| |-- ...
|-- temp
|-- webapps
`-- work
|-- Catalina
Using the sync command, I would like to sync everything but the
contents of the logs, temp, and work directories but I would like the
actual directory entries. Such that the synced copy looks like:
apache-tomcat-6.0.20/
|-- LICENSE
|-- NOTICE
|-- ...
|-- bin
| |-- bootstrap.jar
| |-- ...
|-- conf
|-- lib
|-- logs
|-- temp
|-- webapps
|-- work
This is what I have so far:
<sync todir="${build}/tomcat" failonerror="true" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${tomcat}">
<exclude name="logs/*"/>
<exclude name="work/*"/>
<exclude name="temp/*"/>
</fileset>
</sync>
But unfortunately that excludes the directories as well. Any ideas?

Thanks Stefan! Here's the working snippet in case anyone else runs
into this problem:
<sync todir="${build.tomcat}" failonerror="true" overwrite="true"
includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset dir="${tomcat.template}">
<exclude name="logs/**/*"/>
<exclude name="work/**/*"/>
<exclude name="temp/**/*"/>
</fileset>
</sync>
Unfortunately, once I got this worked out I soon stumbled on ant's
difficulty with permissions, which prevents executing tomcat's scripts
in the bin directory.
--- Begin Reference ---
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/copy.html
Unix Note: File permissions are not retained when files are copied;
they end up with the default UMASK permissions instead. This is caused
by the lack of any means to query or set file permissions in the
current Java runtimes. If you need a permission-preserving copy
function, use <exec executable="cp" ... > instead.
--- End Reference ---
So I decided to go with a native call to rsync instead:
<exec executable="rsync" os="Linux" >
<arg line="-avzC --exclude=/logs/* --exclude=/work/*
--exclude=/temp/* ${tomcat.template}/ ${build.tomcat}"/>
</exec>

I think you need includeemptydirs="true" on the <sync> element as well.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. At the bottom of my original mail I
included the following ant snippet, which is NOT correct for my
particular situation:
<sync todir="${build}/tomcat" failonerror="true" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${tomcat}">
<exclude name="logs/*"/>
<exclude name="work/*"/>
<exclude name="temp/*"/>
</fileset>
</sync>
While that's excluding the directory contents, it's also excluding the
directories themselves. I would like the excluded directories, but not
their contents. How can I do that?
