Copying entire directory to other location using batch file

I want to automate my build process,so I want to write a bat file that does all the copy pasting of libraries for me and do a ANT build of my java project.
Now the problem I am facing is,I have too many nested directories to copy and I tried using copy and Xcopy commands,but these copies only the files and not the Directories/Folders inside other folders.

I read about variations in xcopy but did not get anything similar.

How can I copy entire folder as it is from one location to other using BAT commands??(Similar to what we do using right click or ctrl+c) :P

Thanks
