About empty directories: one could think that it could be feature in the new version that empty directories are also included in the jar file. But I tried to add empty folders in different places in the archetype source directory structure, and none of them was included in the archetype jar (using archetype plugin 3.2.1, which creates jar entries for all directories, but without my workaround). Several StackOverflow answers suggest to achieve this by using filesets. Then I found this suggestion which does not work any more with my workaround: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2786966/how-to-create-empty-folders-with-maven-archetype When adding the "maven-resources-plugin" with "includeEmptyDirs=true", then this will work with 3.2.1 as expected: all empty dirs are added. But my workaround breaks this code. The only solution I could think of: parse "archetype-metadata.xml" and exclude all directories that are defined as root dirs of filesets. But how to do this and how to handle the excludes? As I wrote above, I did not manage to specify exclusions on "DefaultFileSet". -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
