@DisableCachingByDefault(because="Not worth caching") public abstract class Copy extends AbstractCopyTask
Copies files into a destination directory. This task can also rename and filter files as it copies. The task implements CopySpec for specifying what to copy.

Examples: 

task copyDocs(type: Copy) {
    from 'src/main/doc'
    into 'build/target/doc'
}

//for Ant filter
import org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ReplaceTokens

//for including in the copy task
def dataContent = copySpec {
    from 'src/data'
    include '*.data'
}

task initConfig(type: Copy) {
    from('src/main/config') {
        include '**/*.properties'
        include '**/*.xml'
        filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens: [version: '2.3.1'])
    }
    from('src/main/config') {
        exclude '**/*.properties', '**/*.xml'
    }
    from('src/main/languages') {
        rename 'EN_US_(.*)', '$1'
    }
    into 'build/target/config'
    exclude '**/*.bak'

    includeEmptyDirs = false

    with dataContent
