Thanks for the solution! For others, the following doesn't make use of the auxiliary classes (except for StringUtils)
/I added extra information for this solution, check the end of the code, Zegor V/
public class FileUtils {
public static boolean copyFile(final File toCopy, final File destFile) {
try {
return FileUtils.copyStream(new FileInputStream(toCopy),
new FileOutputStream(destFile));
} catch (final FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}

final File destDir) {
assert destDir.isDirectory();
if (!toCopy.isDirectory()) {

} else {
final File newDestDir = new File(destDir, toCopy.getName());
if (!newDestDir.exists() && !newDestDir.mkdir()) {
return false;

It uses only one external library from the Apache Software Foundation, however the used functions are only :
public static String removeStart(String str, String remove) {
if (isEmpty(str) || isEmpty(remove)) {
return str;
}
if (str.startsWith(remove)){
return str.substring(remove.length());
}
return str;
}
public static boolean isEmpty(CharSequence cs) {
return cs == null || cs.length() == 0;
}
My knowledge is limited on Apache licence, but you can use this methods in your code without library. However, i am not responsible for licence issues, if there is.
