Java 8: Copy directory recursively?

Question

I see that Java 8 has significantly cleaned up reading the contents of a file into a String:

String contents = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(new URI(so

This version uses Files.walk and Path parameters as Java 8 suggests.

public static void copyFolder(Path src, Path dest) {
    try {
        Files.walk( src ).forEach( s -> {
            try {
                Path d = dest.resolve( src.relativize(s) );
                if( Files.isDirectory( s ) ) {
                    if( !Files.exists( d ) )
                        Files.createDirectory( d );
                    return;
                }
                Files.copy( s, d );// use flag to override existing
            } catch( Exception e ) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        });
    } catch( Exception ex ) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}
