To ignore directories in Gradle 8.0 and later, the input property needs to be annotated with `@IgnoreEmptyDirectories`.

Finally, using `@link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/api/tasks/InputDirectory.html[InputDirectory]` implies `@IgnoreEmptyDirectories`, so no changes are necessary when using this annotation.
