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

Version:

$Revision: 1.66.2.5 $

Sets a single source file to copy.

Parameters:

file - the file to copy

setTofile

public void setTofile(java.io.File destFile)

Sets the destination file.

Parameters:

destFile - the file to copy to

setTodir

public void setTodir(java.io.File destDir)

Sets the destination directory.

Parameters:

destDir - the destination directory

createFilterChain

public FilterChain createFilterChain()

Adds a FilterChain.

Returns:

a filter chain object

createFilterSet

public FilterSet createFilterSet()

Adds a filterset.

Returns:

a filter set object

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:

preserve - a boolean string

setPreserveLastModified

public void setPreserveLastModified(boolean preserve)

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

Parameters:

preserve - if true perverse the modified time, default is false

getPreserveLastModified

public boolean getPreserveLastModified()

Whether to give the copied files the same last modified time as the original files.

Returns:

the preserveLastModified attribute

Since:

1.32, Ant 1.5

getFilterSets

protected java.util.Vector getFilterSets()

Get the filtersets being applied to this operation.

Returns:

a vector of FilterSet objects

getFilterChains

protected java.util.Vector getFilterChains()

Get the filterchains being applied to this operation.

Returns:

a vector of FilterChain objects

setFiltering

public void setFiltering(boolean filtering)

If true, enables filtering.

Parameters:

filtering - if true enable filtering, default is false

setOverwrite

public void setOverwrite(boolean overwrite)

Overwrite any existing destination file(s).

Parameters:

overwrite - if true force overwriting of destination file(s) even if the destination file(s) are younger than the corresponding source file. Default is false.

setFlatten

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.

Parameters:

flatten - if true flatten the destination directory. Default is false.

setEnableMultipleMappings

public void setEnableMultipleMappings(boolean enableMultipleMappings)

Attribute to handle mappers that return multiple mappings for a given source path.
