In this way the code looks a bit simpler

import static java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption.*;

public  void copyFolder(Path src, Path dest) throws IOException {
    try (Stream stream = Files.walk(src)) {
        stream.forEach(source -> copy(source, dest.resolve(src.relativize(source))));
    }
}

private void copy(Path source, Path dest) {
    try {
        Files.copy(source, dest, REPLACE_EXISTING);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage(), e);
    }
}
