Hi Rick.  In Ant 1.7 you will be able to use the
<resourcecount> task/condition.  For now, in Ant
1.6.5, I'm afraid there is no solution... just
kidding; actually here is a trick you can use.  >;)

Use <pathconvert> to convert your filelist to a
property.  Use a merge mapper to call each file "*" or
whatever.  Set whatever the attribute is that makes
pathconvert still create the property even if the
result is empty (setonempty="true"?).  Now use the
<length> task/condition (available in Ant >= 1.6.3
IIRC), against your newly-<pathconvert>ed property.

HTH,
Matt
