`static void`	`copyFile(File src, File dst)` Copies a single file by using Ant.
`static void`	`copyStream(InputStream in, OutputStream out)` Deprecated. Use `IOUtils.copy(InputStream, OutputStream)`

  If this flag is true, native implementations of FilePath.chmod(int) and IOUtils.mode(java.io.File) are used instead of NIO.
  This should only be enabled if the setgid/setuid/sticky bits are intentionally set on the Jenkins installation and they are being overwritten by Jenkins erroneously.

(so alphanumeric and !@$&*()-_=+',. are not encoded) Note that slash (/) is encoded, so the given string should be a single path component used in constructing a URL. Method name inspired by PHP's rawurlencode.

Creates Ant FileSet with the base dir and include pattern.

The difference with this and using AbstractFileSet.setIncludes(String) is that this method doesn't treat whitespace as a pattern separator, which makes it impossible to use space in the file path.

Parameters:: includes - String like "foo/bar/*.xml" Multiple patterns can be separated by ',', and whitespace can surround ',' (so that you can write "abc, def" and "abc,def" to mean the same thing.; excludes - Exclusion pattern. Follows the same format as the 'includes' parameter. Can be null.
