File Copy

I want to copy a file from one directory to another.
Is there any standard & elegant way to copy a file in Maven.I could not
find any.(Suggest me any if you know).
Instead Iam using the ant plugin for maven & trying to do the copy.
I tried this...
 
     <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
              <tasks>
                     <copy file="C:\build\work\abc.ear"
tofile="C:\abc"/>
              </tasks>
            </configuration>
      </plugin>
 
The above piece runs fine & successfully.But,the file is NEVER copied.
 
Any suggestions please...

It's probably because you didn't define at what <execution> or <phase> 
the antrun plugin should do that task, see its docs or the m2 book.
