Well, that basically worked. But I had to put the "exclude" not in the PatternSet itself, but in the FileSet that referenced the PatternSet, like this: <FileSet dir="."> <PatternSet refid="other-jars"/> <exclude name="*" unless="support.abc"/> </FileSet>
Not totally ideal, maybe, but it does work. I think what you said would work with the incomplete example I gave, but I also was using the PatternSet sometimes in conjunction with other PatternSets and the exclude in those cases messed me up (excluded everything when I didn't want to). But the idea does work in that having both the include and the exclude gives a non-empty file list always, whether the feature is enabled or not, which avoids the problem of an empty list implying "copy everything".
