The mkdir method will create the current directory(if it is possible). The mkdirs method will create all necessary relative directory. Example, if the pathname is "c:\temp\test\mydir\", if we use mkdirs(), and the dir temp, test and mydir don't exist, they will all be created. If we use mkdir(), the directory mydir will be created only when temp, test are existing. Correct me if I am wrong, hope it helps.

As the Java API documentation says, "Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories." For questions of this type, I think it's easier and quicker to look first at the Java API documentation, don't you think? I don't mean to be rude, I only want to point you how you can find a quicker solution. Radu Zaharia

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
