I need to copy a set of files to a directory, but not overwrite a file if it exists.
In other words I only want to copy files that have not been previously copied.
this is what I have in my maven goal now:
<copy todir="${maven.src.dir}/java" overwrite="false">
<fileset dir="${mydir.dest}/java">
<include name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
</copy>The ant copy task's 'overwrite' attribute only prevents a copy if the destination file is newer, so this snippet doesn't work.
I need to prevent a copy if the destination file exists at all.
This may be more of an ant question but I've scoured all the ant resources I can find and I'm thinking I need to use jelly or something.
Is there a better way to copy in Maven than using the ant copy task?
Thanks for your time and help!
