my experience with copy is that if the destination file exists already, it
doesn't do anything even if you've made changes to the src file(It could be
I didn't set some attribute correctly).  I used <dependset> to solve this
problem.  You can define dependent relationship between src and target
files.  Whenever src files got changed, ant detects it and remove all the
target files to force copy to regenerate them.

By default <copy> only copies files if they are newer than the destination.
So it should be all you need.
