Class FileCopyUtil

java.lang.Object
  oracle.ide.util.FileCopyUtil

public class FileCopyUtil

extends java.lang.Object

Since there is no internal java class/method to copy a file, this class contains simple static utility methods to copy files. In addition to copying a file or files, it will create the required directory trees for the output files.

The two main methods you will use are

• copyFile - Copies one file
• copyDir - Copies a directory
  Both methods have a parameter to control overwrite mode. if overwrite mode is false, a timestamp check will be done, and the source file will not be copied unless it is newer than the target (if it exists).

  The copyDir method has a parameter for recursing directories while copying, there is logic in place to circumvent infinite loops created by symlinks, hardlinks, or other shortcuts.
