Muneer Syed commented on MWAR-128:
----------------------------------
Here is solution or workaround for this
Create a dummy file empty.tmp in the directory which you want to include e.g.
src/main/webapp/myemptydir/empty.tmp
And use packagingExcludes that file, in the war the dummy file will be skipped
but empty directory will be present
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.war.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<packagingExcludes>**/empty.tmp</packagingExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
> war goal does not copy empty directories from webapp directory
