This task has been deprecated. Use the Copy task instead.
Description
Copies a directory tree from the source to the destination.
It is possible to refine the set of files that are being copied. This can be
done with the includes, includesfile, excludes, excludesfile and defaultexcludes
attributes. With the includes or includesfile attribute you specify the files you want to
have included by using patterns. The exclude or excludesfile attribute is used to specify
the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And
finally with the defaultexcludes attribute, you can specify whether you
want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on directory based tasks, on how the
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.
This task forms an implicit FileSet and
supports all attributes of <fileset>
(dir becomes src ) as well as the nested
<include> , <exclude> and
<patternset> elements.
