Summary:	zipfileset prefix option does not create directory in archive

Description Patrick Martin 2003-03-27 09:18:39 UTC

Given the following build process:

<zip destfile="b.zip" filesonly="false">
  <zipfileset src="a.zip" prefix="test" includes="**"/>
</zip>

There is no entry created for the directory "test" in b.zip.

This was working in 1.5.1 but is not working anymore in 1.5.2 nor 1.5.3Beta1.

This causes a problem for war/ear files where the J2EE container might search 
for the directory inside the archive file

fixed in CVS HEAD as well as in the 1.5 branch, which means it will be fixed in
1.5.3 and 1.6 and you can verify the fix by using nightly build 2003-03-28
or later.
