Zip fails when folder is missing





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-03-25 22:32 -------
Unfortunately this problem is in the directory scanning implementation IIRC... 
so this is an invalid fileset/zipfileset as far as Ant is concerned... A quick 
inspection of the code does not look promising for any quick attribute 
additions to fileset to make it find nothing when its specified parent 
directory does not exist, and indeed, I'm sure we could stir up quite a 
discussion on the developer and user lists as to whether such behaviour could 
even be thought of as valid (I just realized I've begun using British spellings 
of words like "behaviour").

A workaround:  use conditional target execution (or ant-contrib's <if>) to 
create your <zipfileset> as a reference... if the directory does not exist, 
create your zipfileset as a dummy... something like <zipfileset id="myzfs" 
dir="${basedir}" excludes="**/*" /> should work...
