Answer 1

If you're running on JDK7, you can use java.nio.file.Files.copy(Path source, Path target, CopyOption... options) method

Answer 2

I am using Grails 2.4.3 and Java 1.6. In my case the solution was added the includes option like this:

new AntBuilder().copy(todir: destinationDir) {
    fileset(dir: sourceDir, includes: "**")
}
