there's also another solution with antcontrib <if>, something like =
<fileset dir="T:/test" includes="*.ear" id="ear.files" />
<if>
<equals arg1="${toString:ear.files}" arg2=""/>
<then>
<echo>No files !!</echo>
</then>
<else>
<echo>Files in fileset =
${line.separator}${toString:ear.files}</echo>
</else>
</if>
i know the use of ${toString: ... } is not recommended, but i use i
quite often

Apart from Jan's suggestion, which should work for Ant 1.6, Ant
1.7beta comes with a new <resourcecount> condition
<condition property="dir-is-not-empty?">
<resourcecount when="greater" length="0">
<fileset dir="..."/>
</resourcecount>
</condition>
