I created a simple application which will read all the files and folders kepts inside a folder. Whenever I build the project, I only get the jar file but the folder where the file and folders are kept have to be created. Is this supposed to be like this or I have to code something, which will create the folder upon the final build.

More details please. What are you using to compile the project? Eclipse? Ant? – Robin Green May 14 '11 at 08:42

@Grook, @Robin Green I am sorry the confusion, I meant build. – mrN May 14 '11 at 08:58

Compilation gives you only executable file (i.e. *.jar). If you need something else to make you application works - you must do it (programmatically or not).

Yes but other files can be created at build time. mrN seems to be unaware of the distinction between build and compilation. (build can encompass more activities.) – Robin Green May 14 '11 at 08:44
