Description

Empty directories are ignored if the lineEnding parameter is used in a fileset.
Created archive will contain empty directories if I either remove the lineEnding parameter OR remove any text file from the directory structure.

structure:

pom.xml
src/main/assembly/assembly.xml
src/main/include/a/test.txt
                /b/
