CUSTOM DITA-OT package deployed to cloud instance is missing the bin folder containing ant and dita commands

[Samba_Kolusu]

CUSTOM DITA-OT.zip file deployed to /apps/fmdita/dita_resources on a cloud instance through cloud deployment pipeline is missing the bin folder containing ant and dita commands; but the same is working fine in a local cloud emulator 

as a result of this missing ant and dita commands, output generation is failing with PathNotFoundException (ant)

i am assembling the DITA-OT.zip file with custom DTD documents, and a custom plugin using maven, and embedding the generated zip file in the project-all module to be put at /apps/fmdita/dita-resources. the build and deployment is executed through cloud deploiyment pipeline.

are there are any validation rules in aem cloud that are stripping off the executable files from DITA-OT.zip file, either during the build or while installing the package?

@Samba_Kolusu for others to refer as we discussed offline and looking at the git repo you shared we observed following gaps:

1. The git repo itself did not had /lib and /bin folders which contain the libraries and the and/dita executors 
2. Also looking at the file src/main/assembly/zip.xml can you match its parameters with a sample shown below, as the packaging has to be proper (you can refer this article about what changes needs to be done when working with custom DITA-OT)
1. from same article I see the changes in "\plugins\org.dita.base\build_init" are not done - are you handling it differently?

And as you confirmed the issue was largely due to the missing /lib and /bin directory in source repo

    <id>${project.version}</id>
    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
    <formats>
        <format>zip</format>
    </formats>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/DITA-OT</directory>
            <outputDirectory>${file.separator}DITA-OT</outputDirectory>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
