• doFileOperations

  protected void doFileOperations()

  Actually does the file (and possibly empty directory) copies. This is a good method for subclasses to override.

• doResourceOperations

  protected void doResourceOperations(Map<Resource,String[]> map)

  Actually does the resource copies. This is a good method for subclasses to override.

  Parameters:

  map - a map of source resource to array of destination files.

  Since:

  Ant 1.7

• supportsNonFileResources

  protected boolean supportsNonFileResources()

  Whether this task can deal with non-file resources.

  <copy> can while <move> can't since we don't know how to remove non-file resources.

  This implementation returns true only if this task is <copy>. Any subclass of this class that also wants to support non-file resources needs to override this method. We need to do so for backwards compatibility reasons since we can't expect subclasses to support resources.

  Returns:

  true if this task supports non file resources.

  Since:

  Ant 1.7
