How do I include all empty directory in a maven assembly?

Question

I want use maven-assembly-plugin.

My assembly descriptor:

   <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
   <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
            <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
            <filtered>false</filtered>
            <fileMode>744</fileMode>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>

On Windows 7 (local computer) is it OK!!!:

folder1/*  (contains files)
folder2/*  (contains files)
folder3    (Empty directory)

But on Ubuntu (Jenkins) is it KO!!!:

folder1/*  (contains files)
folder2/*  (contains files)
           (Empty directory folder3 do not exist)

Edit:

My real problem is Git (do not find empty folder). I want find a smart workaround.

Answer 1

I find a smart workaround for use maven-assembly-plugin + git:

I make a directory stay empty (in the repository) is to create a .gitignore file inside that directory that contains four lines:

# Ignore everything in this directory
*
# Except this file
!.gitignore
