How to create directory in Java?
This program will make a directory called 'MyDirectory' in the C:\ drive.

Re: How to Make a directory with Java
a common mistake here is that you don't check the boolean value return from the mkdir() method. It returns true if the operation succeeded, false if the user doesn't have permission or anything else happened.

Re: How to Make a directory with Java
tried this, and it doesn't work; just prints out false. Use mkdirs().
