Below is an example to move one directory with all its child directory and files to another directory. We can use the FileUtils.moveDirectory() method call to simplify the process.

package org.kodejava.example.commons.io;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DirectoryMove {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String source = "C:/Demo/source";
        File srcDir = new File(source);

        String destination = "C:/Demo/target";
        File destDir = new File(destination);

        try {
            //
            // Move the source directory to the destination directory.
            // The destination directory must not exists prior to the
            // move process.
            //
            FileUtils.moveDirectory(srcDir, destDir);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
