Java Create Multiple Directories Example

In this source code example, we show you how to create multiple directories in Java.

We use Files.createDirectories() method to create multiple directories in Java.

Files.createDirectories() method

This method creates a directory by creating all nonexistent parent directories first. Unlike the createDirectory method, an exception is not thrown if the directory could not be created because it already exists.

Java Create Multiple Directories Example using Files.createDirectories

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class JavaCreateDirectories {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        String fileName = "/home/ramesh/docs/newDir";
        Path path = Paths.get(fileName);

        Files.createDirectories(path);
    }
}
