I suspect the upcoming support will be a better fit when it comes, and I
can live with my workaround until then.

Any chance that we could add a "quiet" flag to it that would keep it
from barfing if the fileset is empty? I can get around it either way,
but it would be nice to have it elegant for my application.
E.g.
<property name="jar.extra.zip1" value="first.jar"/>
<property name="jar.extra.zip2" />
<fileset id=zipfiles>
<file name="jar.extra.zip1"/>
<file name="jar.extra.zip2"/>
</fileset>
<jar
jarfile="product.jar"
basedir="${compile.classes}"
<zipfileset src=zipfiles quiet="true"/>
</jar>
should work, as filesets are allowed to have empty things in them,
IIRC. Will it fail silently if someone sends an empty fileset, and if
not, is a flag to request that appropriate?
