*never* instantiate an Ant task directly.  In your case,

                Copy cpy = (Copy) project.createTask("copy");

will avoid the Exception, but is still unsafe (we may chose to change
the class implementing the copy task in the future).

To copy a file, take a look at org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.
