[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-108) Assembly Plugin Implicitly Excludes Empty Directory

["Dawid Kedziora (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Dawid Kedziora commented on MASSEMBLY-108:
------------------------------------------

A workaround for 2.2-beta-1:

{code:xml}
<assembly>
    ...
    <fileSet>
       <directory>target/</directory>
       <outputDirectory>/logs</outputDirectory>
       <excludes>
           <exclude>**/*</exclude>
        </excludes>
    </fileSet>
....
</assembly>
{code} 

Generally speaking: get any existing directory, specify any output directory, and exclude everything from source directory.

> It seems that the inclusion of an empty directory isn't currently possible with the assembly plugin. This is a problem because I would like to have an empty "logs" directory included with my zip file assembly. It would be nice if the assembly plugin gave you the option to add empty directories to an assembly.
