You can use an ant "Selector". Try something like this:
<target name="copy-them" depends="init"> <copy todir="${build}"> <fileset dir="${src}"> <include name="**/*.xml"/> <present present="srconly" targetdir="${build}"/> </fileset> </copy> </target>
Take a look at: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/selectors.html

Hello all. 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!
