Here is what I have so far:

import java.i

Use the New Java File classes in Java >=7.

Create the below method and import the necessary libs.

public static void copyFile( File from, File to ) throws IOException {
    Files.copy( from.toPath(), to.toPath() );
} 

Use the created method as below within main:

File dirFrom = new File(fileFrom);
File dirTo = new File(fileTo);

try {
        copyFile(dirFrom, dirTo);
} catch (IOException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(TestJava8.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

NB:- fileFrom is the file that you want to copy to a new file fileTo in a different folder.
