Support deletion of empty files after the patches have been applied
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPATCH-1
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPATCH-1
Project: Maven 2.x Patch Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Napoleon Esmundo C. Ramirez
Priority: Minor
By default, the patch command does not delete empty files after the patches
have been applied. Compilation breaks on empty java sources. According to the
man pages, as a workaround, the to be deleted could be compared to an empty
file dated the Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) if it conforms to POSIX. Or
better yet, use the -E or --remove-empty-files option to be sure.
