Copies files into a destination directory. This task can also rename and filter files as it copies. The task implements CopySpec for specifying what to copy.
Examples:
task copyDocs(type: Copy) {
from 'src/main/doc'
into 'build/target/doc'
}
//for Ant filter
import org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ReplaceTokens
task initConfig(type: Copy) {
from('src/main/config') {
include '**/*.properties'
include '**/*.xml'
filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens: [version: '2.3.1'])
}
from('src/main/config') {
exclude '**/*.properties', '**/*.xml'
}
from('src/main/languages') {
rename 'EN_US_(.*)', '$1'
}
into 'build/target/config'
exclude '**/*.bak'
includeEmptyDirs = false
}
