empty include task inside javac causes NullPointerException

           Summary: empty include task inside javac causes
                    NullPointerException
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dawid.weiss@cs.put.poznan.pl


An empty include task inside a javac causes ANT to throw NullPointerException 
when attempting to create a StringBuffer. A sample script that causes this bug 
to show up (tested in ant 1.5.3 and 1.6.0):

<project name="cw1" basedir="." default="compile">

  <target name="compile">
     <mkdir dir="src" />
     <mkdir dir="tmp/build" />
     <javac srcdir="src" destdir="tmp/build">
            <include/>
     </javac>
  </target>
  
</project>

The bug is probably trivial, but still a nice thing to know your program is 
fool-proof ;)
