-<h2><a name="copy">Copy</a></h2>
-<h3>Description</h3>
-<p>Copies a file or resource collection to a new file or directory. By default, files are
-only copied if the source file is newer than the destination file,
-or when the destination file does not exist. However, you can explicitly
-overwrite files with the <code>overwrite</code> attribute.</p>
-
-<p><a href="../Types/resources.html#collection">Resource
-Collection</a>s are used to select a group of files to copy. To use a
-resource collection, the <code>todir</code> attribute must be set.
-<strong>Note</strong> that some resources (for example
-the <a href="../Types/resources.html#file">file</a> resource)
-return absolute paths as names and the result of using them without
-using a nested mapper (or the flatten attribute) may not be what you
-expect.</p>
-
-<p>
-<strong>Note: </strong>If you employ filters in your copy operation,
-you should limit the copy to text files. Binary files will be corrupted
-by the copy operation.
-This applies whether the filters are implicitly defined by the
-<a href="filter.html">filter</a> task or explicitly provided to the copy
-operation as <a href="../Types/filterset.html">filtersets</a>.
- <em>See <a href="#encoding">encoding note</a></em>.

-<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
-
-<h4>fileset or any other resource collection</h4>
-<p><a href="../Types/resources.html#collection">Resource
-Collection</a>s are used to select groups of files to copy. To use a
-resource collection, the <code>todir</code> attribute must be set.</p>
-<p>Prior to Ant 1.7 only <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code> has been
-supported as a nested element.</p>
-
-<h4>mapper</h4>
- <p>You can define filename transformations by using a nested <a
- href="../Types/mapper.html">mapper</a> element. The default mapper used by
- <code>&lt;copy&gt;</code> is the <a
- href="../Types/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity mapper</a>.</p>
- <p>
- <em>Since Ant 1.6.3</em>,
- one can use a filenamemapper type in place of the mapper element.
- </p>
-
-<p>Note that the source name handed to the mapper depends on the
-resource collection you use. If you use <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code>
-or any other collection that provides a base directory, the name
-passed to the mapper will be a relative filename, relative to the base
-directory. In any other case the absolute filename of the source will
-be used.</p>
-
-<h4>filterset</h4>
- <p><a href="../Types/filterset.html">FilterSet</a>s are used to replace
-tokens in files that are copied.
- To use a FilterSet, use the nested <code>&lt;filterset&gt;</code> element.</p>
-
-<p>It is possible to use more than one filterset.</p>
-
-<h4>filterchain</h4>
-<p>The Copy task supports nested <a href="../Types/filterchain.html">
-FilterChain</a>s.</p>
-
-<p>
-If <code>&lt;filterset&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;filterchain&gt;</code> elements are used inside the
-same <code>&lt;copy&gt;</code> task, all <code>&lt;filterchain&gt;</code> elements are processed first
-followed by <code>&lt;filterset&gt;</code> elements.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Examples</h3>
-<p><b>Copy a single file</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy file=&quot;myfile.txt&quot; tofile=&quot;mycopy.txt&quot;/&gt;
-</pre>
-<p><b>Copy a single file to a directory</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy file=&quot;myfile.txt&quot; todir=&quot;../some/other/dir&quot;/&gt;
-</pre>
-<p><b>Copy a directory to another directory</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;../new/dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src_dir&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-<p><b>Copy a set of files to a directory</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;../dest/dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src_dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;exclude name=&quot;**/*.java&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/fileset&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;../dest/dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src_dir&quot; excludes=&quot;**/*.java&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-<p><b>Copy a set of files to a directory, appending
-<code>.bak</code> to the file name on the fly</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;../backup/dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src_dir&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;globmapper from=&quot;*&quot; to=&quot;*.bak&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p><b>Copy a set of files to a directory, replacing @TITLE@ with Foo Bar
-in all files.</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;../backup/dir&quot;&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir=&quot;src_dir&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;filterset&gt;
- &lt;filter token=&quot;TITLE&quot; value=&quot;Foo Bar&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/filterset&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p><b>Collect all items from the current CLASSPATH setting into a
-destination directory, flattening the directory structure.</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;dest&quot; flatten=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
- &lt;path&gt;
- &lt;pathelement path=&quot;${java.class.path}&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/path&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p><b>Copies some resources to a given directory.</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;dest&quot; flatten=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
- &lt;resources&gt;
- &lt;file file=&quot;src_dir/file1.txt&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;url url=&quot;http://ant.apache.org/index.html&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/resources&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p>If the example above didn't use the flatten attribute,
- the <code>&lt;file&gt;</code> resource would have returned its full
- path as source and target name and would not have been copied at
- all. In general it is a good practice to use an explicit mapper
- together with resources that use an absolute path as their
- names.</p>
-
-<p><b>Copies the two newest resources into a destination directory.</b></p>
-<pre>
- &lt;copy todir=&quot;dest&quot; flatten=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
- &lt;first count=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
- &lt;sort&gt;
- &lt;date xmlns=&quot;antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.comparators&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;resources&gt;
- &lt;file file=&quot;src_dir/file1.txt&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;file file=&quot;src_dir/file2.txt&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;file file=&quot;src_dir/file3.txt&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;url url=&quot;http://ant.apache.org/index.html&quot;/&gt;
- &lt;/resources&gt;
- &lt;/sort&gt;
- &lt;/first&gt;
- &lt;/copy&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p>The paragraph following the previous example applies to this
- example as well.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Unix Note:</strong> File permissions are not retained when files
-are copied; they end up with the default <code>UMASK</code> permissions
-instead. This
-is caused by the lack of any means to query or set file permissions in the
-current Java runtimes. If you need a permission-preserving copy function,
-use <code>&lt;exec executable="cp" ... &gt;</code> instead.
-</p>
-
-<p><strong>Windows Note:</strong> If you copy a file to a directory
-where that file already exists, but with different casing,
-the copied file takes on the case of the original. The workaround is to
-<a href="delete.html">delete</a>
-the file in the destination directory before you copy it.
-</p>
- <p>
- <strong><a name="encoding">Important Encoding Note:</a></strong>
- The reason that binary files when filtered get corrupted is that
- filtering involves reading in the file using a Reader class. This
- has an encoding specifying how files are encoded. There are a number
- of different types of encoding - UTF-8, UTF-16, Cp1252, ISO-8859-1,
- US-ASCII and (lots) others. On Windows the default character encoding
- is Cp1252, on Unix it is usually UTF-8. For both of these encoding
- there are illegal byte sequences (more in UTF-8 than for Cp1252).
- </p>
- <p>
- How the Reader class deals with these illegal sequences is up to the
- implementation
- of the character decoder. The current Sun Java implementation is to
- map them to legal characters. Previous Sun Java (1.3 and lower) threw
- a MalformedInputException. IBM Java 1.4 also throws this exception.
- It is the mapping of the characters that cause the corruption.
- </p>
- <p>
- On Unix, where the default is normally UTF-8, this is a <em>big</em>
- problem, as it is easy to edit a file to contain non US Ascii characters
- from ISO-8859-1, for example the Danish oe character. When this is
- copied (with filtering) by Ant, the character get converted to a
- question mark (or some such thing).
- </p>
- <p>
- There is not much that Ant can do. It cannot figure out which
- files are binary - a UTF-8 version of Korean will have lots of
- bytes with the top bit set. It is not informed about illegal
- character sequences by current Sun Java implementions.
- </p>
- <p>
- One trick for filtering containing only US-ASCII is to
- use the ISO-8859-1 encoding. This does not seem to contain
- illegal character sequences, and the lower 7 bits are US-ASCII.
- Another trick is to change the LANG environment variable from
- something like "us.utf8" to "us".
