I guess you mean you want to check whether a fileset contains at least one
file. You can do this by using <pathconvert/> to transform create a property
containing the files present in your fileset. Then you can use the
<condition/> task to compare the property obtained with the empty string.
Look at the condition task docu in the manual.

<project name="pathconvert">
<fileset dir="c:/dev/asf/ant" id="myfileset">
<include name="**/*.xyz"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert refid="myfileset" targetos="unix" property="my.fileset"/>
<echo message="my.fileset is ${my.fileset}"/>
</project>

Cheers,

Antoine
