I'm using a feature-based target platform export. In the feature's build.properties I set some directories to be included statically in the target platform. This mechanism and its properties is described in [1] and [2].

The problem is, I have several empty directories that do not get copied. But I need them copied. Is there a way to accomplish that easily?

It feels like the Ant task used for copying these root files has its includeemptydirs attribute set to false. Can anyone confirm this?

Kind Regards,
Alexander
