What i did was write a task which gives me the list of files in a directory
as a string. If the string is empty, the dir is empty. Email me if you'd like
that task. i wrote a custom task for that because when i tried to print
filesets i got a string which looked like a reference address (not a readable
string, anyway).
The xml looks like this:
<taskdef name="filelister" classname="de.einsurance.ant.FileListTask"/>
<filelister
outputproperty='build.cvs.maillist' includedirs="false"
delimiter=" " dir="${build.cvs.maildir}"
usefullpaths="true"
/>
<condition property="cvs.doupdates">
<!-- Set cvs.doupdates if the list of files in ${build.cvs.maildir} is not
empty. -->
<not>
<equals arg1="" arg2="${build.cvs.maillist}"/>
</not>
</condition>
