I created the last attachment using NetBeans . . . this one uses the Unix diff
command, so hopefully it will work a bit better.
> Suppress Empty Collection Wrapper Elements

> Key: BETWIXT-55

> Attached is a patch that modifies the isEmptyElement method of
> AbstractBeanWriter to consider collective element descriptors as empty if the
> collection properties they reference have no elements. This suppresses the
> output of empty wrapper elements. For example, consider the following
> .betwixt file for class Foo:
> <info>
> <element name="foo">
> <element name="bars">
> <element name="bar" property="bars"/>
> </element>
> <addDefaults/>
> </element>
> </info>
> Under Betwixt 0.7, an empty <bars/> element is written even if Foo.getBars()
> returns a null or empty collection. This patch determines that the
> collection descriptor for the <bar> element is empty, so all of the children
> elements of the <bars> wrapper element descriptor are empty, so the <bars>
> element descriptor itself is empty, and is therefore ignored.
