Copying a File or Directory
You can copy a file or directory by using the copy(Path, Path, CopyOption. ) method. The copy fails if the target file exists, unless the REPLACE_EXISTING option is specified.
Directories can be copied. However, files inside the directory are not copied, so the new directory is empty even when the original directory contains files.
When copying a symbolic link, the target of the link is copied. If you want to copy the link itself, and not the contents of the link, specify either the NOFOLLOW_LINKS or REPLACE_EXISTING option.
This method takes a varargs argument. The following StandardCopyOption and LinkOption enums are supported:
- REPLACE_EXISTING – Performs the copy even when the target file already exists. If the target is a symbolic link, the link itself is copied (and not the target of the link). If the target is a non-empty directory, the copy fails with the DirectoryNotEmptyException exception.
- COPY_ATTRIBUTES – Copies the file attributes associated with the file to the target file. The exact file attributes supported are file system and platform dependent, but last-modified-time is supported across platforms and is copied to the target file.
- NOFOLLOW_LINKS – Indicates that symbolic links should not be followed. If the file to be copied is a symbolic link, the link is copied (and not the target of the link).
If you are not familiar with enums , see Enum Types.
The following shows how to use the copy method:
import static java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption.*; . Files.copy(source, target, REPLACE_EXISTING);
In addition to file copy, the Files class also defines methods that may be used to copy between a file and a stream. The copy(InputStream, Path, CopyOptions. ) method may be used to copy all bytes from an input stream to a file. The copy(Path, OutputStream) method may be used to copy all bytes from a file to an output stream.
The Copy example uses the copy and Files.walkFileTree methods to support a recursive copy. See Walking the File Tree for more information.
How to Copy a File with Java
The Kubernetes ecosystem is huge and quite complex, so it’s easy to forget about costs when trying out all of the exciting tools.
To avoid overspending on your Kubernetes cluster, definitely have a look at the free K8s cost monitoring tool from the automation platform CAST AI. You can view your costs in real time, allocate them, calculate burn rates for projects, spot anomalies or spikes, and get insightful reports you can share with your team.
Connect your cluster and start monitoring your K8s costs right away:
We rely on other people’s code in our own work. Every day.
It might be the language you’re writing in, the framework you’re building on, or some esoteric piece of software that does one thing so well you never found the need to implement it yourself.
The problem is, of course, when things fall apart in production — debugging the implementation of a 3rd party library you have no intimate knowledge of is, to say the least, tricky.
Lightrun is a new kind of debugger.
It’s one geared specifically towards real-life production environments. Using Lightrun, you can drill down into running applications, including 3rd party dependencies, with real-time logs, snapshots, and metrics.

Slow MySQL query performance is all too common. Of course it is. A good way to go is, naturally, a dedicated profiler that actually understands the ins and outs of MySQL.
The Jet Profiler was built for MySQL only, so it can do things like real-time query performance, focus on most used tables or most frequent queries, quickly identify performance issues and basically help you optimize your queries.
Critically, it has very minimal impact on your server’s performance, with most of the profiling work done separately — so it needs no server changes, agents or separate services.
Basically, you install the desktop application, connect to your MySQL server, hit the record button, and you’ll have results within minutes:
DbSchema is a super-flexible database designer, which can take you from designing the DB with your team all the way to safely deploying the schema.
The way it does all of that is by using a design model, a database-independent image of the schema, which can be shared in a team using GIT and compared or deployed on to any database.
And, of course, it can be heavily visual, allowing you to interact with the database using diagrams, visually compose queries, explore the data, generate random data, import data or build HTML5 database reports.
