Seems that includeEmptyDirs from war plugin doesn't work

How it actually works?

I’ve specified includeEmptyDirs = false and there are a lot of empty directories under my classes. So here is the snippet:

war {

includeEmptyDirs = false

archiveName = ‘popi.war’

from(project(’:utils’).file(‘working/src/tomcat-files’)) {

exclude(‘taglib’)

}

from(‘working/src/tomcat-files/’) {

exclude(‘conf’)

} }
