Gradle Copy Task: How to overwrite existing files?

Question

The Copy api doesn't mention a flag/property that can be set. So what's the default action and how can one modify it?

---

According to this,

As of Gradle 0.9.1, the Copy task always overwrites files. The other strategies are not supported yet.

Answer 1

As the issue text says, the Copy task overwrites files, and other strategies aren't currently supported. If that's not appropriate in your case, you can always fall back to the Ant task.
