Yes, it works. However, I don`t see any improvements of copying task from
gradle. It doesn`t support even filtersfile and overwrite attributes. I`m
going to use normal project.ant instead... Why not?
What is not working for me is replacing tokens in target folder without
copying. "Copy" seems simply skipping task when source and target is the
same. If Gradle could do that it will give performance and simpler scripts.
