File copy using Java7 & Scala

new_gist_file

Java 7 is now out and you have another option: java.nio.file.Files.copy. The probably easiest solution (And with Scalas superior import even easier). Provided that from and to are strings as in your question:

import java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING
import java.nio.file.Files.copy
import java.nio.file.Paths.get

implicit def toPath (filename: String) = get(filename)

copy (from, to, REPLACE_EXISTING)

Of course you should start using java.nio.file.Paths instead of strings.
