[Java] Class Copy

    java.lang.Object
      org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
          org.gradle.api.tasks.AbstractCopyTask
              org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy

    public class Copy
    extends AbstractCopyTask

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 mydoc(type:Copy) {
        from 'src/main/doc'
        into 'build/target/doc'
     }

     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'
     }
