Zip task doesn't create empty directories on Mac OSX

For some reason the zip task is not consisten between platforms. When I 
zip up a directory with some empty directories under it, in Linux, the 
empty directories get included in the zip. When I run the same task on 
OSX, the empty directories are not created.

Hello,

In ant 1.6.2, there is a bug [1] preventing empty directories from being
zipped.

This bug is fixed in CVS on the ANT_16_BRANCH and on the main branch.
Which means that you can use ant 1.6.1 or patch your ant 1.6.2 using the
diffs [2]

I would bet that you are using a different (maybe older) version of ant
under linux, and that you are using ant 1.6.2 under OSX.

Cheers,
Antoine
