My use case for this feature is creating release tarballs which must include
all specified files:
<tar destfile="${patch}/patch-${my.version}.tar.gz" compression="gzip">
<tarfileset dir="${dist}" username="admin" group="admin">
<include name="lib/my-main.jar" />
<include name="tools/lib/my-tools.jar" />
<include name="conf/VERSION" />
</tarfileset>
<tarfileset dir="export/release" prefix="conf" username="admin"
group="admin">
<include name="spring/menu.xml" />
<include name="updates/connections.xml" />
</tarfileset>
</tar>
I'm pretty shocked that using the NAME attribute like this (without wildcards)
will silently succeed even if the file doesn't exist.
I note that only the values "skip" and "fail" seem to be appropriate for
WHENEMPTY with <fileset> (<zip> also allows "create", which doesn't seem be
applicable in this context). This somewhat argues for using FAILONERROR
instead (which is boolean) as used in <copy>.
Then there's the issue of what to do if this new <fileset> attribute is used in
a <zip> task which specifies WHENEMPTY -- which one takes precedence? Allowing
the nested one (<fileset>) to override probably makes the most sense.
