Guillaume Boué updated MASSEMBLY-752:
-------------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Minor)
> [PATCH] Option to ignore empty directories on fileSet directory
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MASSEMBLY-752
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-752
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.5.3
> Reporter: Guillaume Boué
> Attachments: MASSEMBLY-ignoreEmptyDirectories.patch
>
>
> When the directory attribute of fileSets contains empty directories, it would
> be nice to have an option to ignore them.
> ======= Actual behaviour =======
> Considering the structure :
> src/
> +-- folder1/file.txt
> +-- folder2/
> with the following fileSet in assembly.xml :
> <fileSet>
> <directory>src</directory>
> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
> </fileSet>
> the assembly-plugin produces, as of today :
> /folder1/file.txt
> /folder2
> Note that the empty directory folder2 is present in the assembly.
> ======= Proposed enhancement =======
> With this enhancement, it would be possible to have the following in
> assembly.xml :
> <fileSet>
> <directory>src</directory>
> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
> <includeEmptyDirectories>false</includeEmptyDirectories>
> </fileSet>
> and the resulting assembly would be :
> /folder1/file.txt
> Note that folder2 would not be present inside the assembly because it is
> empty.
> Attached is a patch adding the attribute "includeEmptyDirectories" to the
> fileSet element in assembly.xml file. For backward compatibility, the default
> value of this attribute is true.
