+                  <p>Most users who go down this path have no problem figuring
+          out that
+          <code>&lt;delete includeemptydirs="true" /&gt;</code> will
+          help them.  The seemingly tricky part is preserving the
+          non-empty directories, which Ant includes in the directory
+          scan. Fortunately the answer is simple:</p>

+&lt;delete includeemptydirs=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
+  &lt;fileset dir=&quot;dirtokeepifnotempty&quot; excludes=&quot;**/*&quot; /&gt;
