public class Copy
extends Task

Copies a file or directory to a new file or directory. Files are only copied if the source file is newer than the destination file, or when the destination file does not exist. It is possible to explicitly overwrite existing files.

This implementation is based on Arnout Kuiper's initial design document, the following mailing list discussions, and the copyfile/copydir tasks.

Since:
Ant 1.2

setPreserveLastModified

public void setPreserveLastModified(java.lang.String preserve)
Deprecated. setPreserveLastModified(String) has been deprecated and replaced with setPreserveLastModified(boolean) to consistently let the Introspection mechanism work.

Give the copied files the same last modified time as the original files.

Parameters:

Returns:
the preserveLastModified attribute
Since:
1.32, Ant 1.5

public void setFlatten(boolean flatten)
When copying directory trees, the files can be "flattened" into a single directory. If there are multiple files with the same name in the source directory tree, only the first file will be copied into the "flattened" directory, unless the forceoverwrite attribute is true.
