    I am making a plugin that uses multiple files, and I want to be able to save all of them in one folder located at <wherever the server is>\myModName\aFile.dat . How can I make my code create this directory automatically if it doesn't already exist? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Place this in your onEnable():

    Code:java
    1. File folder = this.getDataFolder();
    2.         File file = new File(folder + File.separator
    3.                 + "file.dat");
    4.  
    5.         if (!folder.exists() && (!file.exists())) {
    6.             try {
    7.                 folder.mkdir();
    8.                 file.createNewFile();
    9.             } catch (Exception e) {
    10.                 e.printStackTrace();
    11.             }
    12.         }
