Recursively create directory

What's the java-esque way to create a director(ies), and don't complain if it exist?

Quoting the man for mkdir:

-p    Create intermediate directories as required... with this option 
      specified, no error will be reported if a directory given as an 
      operand already exists.

Answer 1

In Java, both, files and directories are represented as File objects.

So you can do:

File file = new File("C:/a");
file.mkdirs();

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You're looking for File.mkdirs().

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.
