Create folder in current directory

Question

Hi all,
I would like to be able to create a folder through my java program, in the current directory that the java program is in.
Furthermore, I do not want to have to change any code if the java program is suddenly moved to a different folder.
Something like this, but obviously currentDirectory would have to actually be the specific directory that the program is in:File f = new File(currentDirectory);
f.mkDir();Also, just on a side note if anyone has any knowledge of MySQL, I would like to be able to do this when using 'batch mode' and pointing a batch file to a text file containing mysql commands:
mysql -u root -p < d:\mysql\jdbc\createdatabase.txtso the current directory would replace 'd:\mysql\jdbc\'.
thanks very much

Hi Jon
On the first topic, try this.
import java.io.File;
public class MakeDir {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length != 1 || args[0] == null || args[0].trim().length() == 0) {
               System.out.println("Usage: java MakeDir <folder name>");
               System.exit(-1);
          File f = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\" + args[0]);
          f.mkdir();
