How do we perform a parallel folder copy in java??
To be more exact
I have a src-folder which has a set of folders.
I need to copy the src-folder to the destination-folder and the src-folder should be broken into parallel threads so that the copy task goes on quickly in JAVA.
HOW do i do this??

If you are doing this operation on a single disk, do not parallel copy, you have nothing to gain and will probably slow things down. The disk can only do a single task at a time, and having to accommodate multiple thread requests will slow things down as the head moves back and forth between files in between each allocated timeslice.
