<h3><i>Deprecated</i></h3>

|
|
<p><i>This task has been deprecated. Use the Copy task instead.</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Copies a directory tree from the source to the destination.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being copied. This can be
|
|
|
|
done with the <i>includes</i>, <i>includesfile</i>, <i>excludes</i>, <i>excludesfile</i> and <i>defaultexcludes</i>
|
|
|
|
attributes. With the <i>includes</i> or <i>includesfile</i> attribute you specify the files you want to
|
|
|
|
have included by using patterns. The <i>exclude</i> or <i>excludesfile</i> attribute is used to specify
|
|
|
|
the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And
|
|
|
|
finally with the <i>defaultexcludes</i> attribute, you can specify whether you
|
|
|
|
want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on <a
|
|
|
|
href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on how the
|
|
|
|
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and
|
|
|
|
supports all attributes of <code><fileset></code>
|
|
|
|
(<code>dir</code> becomes <code>src</code>) as well as the nested
|
|
|
|
<code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code> and
|
|
|
|
<code><patternset></code> elements.</p>
