resource comprising empty directories not copied to bin/resources? [message #1719580]

I have a resources folder that consists of a tree of folders, one for each year of interest, and in turn those folders each have a folder for each month, and some of the month folders have files...and some don't. It seems that only the folders that have actual files are copied to bin/resources for use by my Junit tests. For example, if test/resource/data/2015/12 is empty, then is is not copied to bin. Whereas if I add foobar.txt file to test/resource/data/2015/12, then it is copied (including the file, of course). Is there some eclipse configuration flag that will allow even empty folders to be copied?

Not that I know of; when I've occasionally needed something like this I've just put empty .keepme files (or some other easily ignorable/filterable name) to force the empty directories to be non-empty.
