Hi Ravi,
I saw your post and question,. The way you said u create a folder in windows using the Runtime class is somehow cumbersome and reduces platform independence. Even some versions of Windows may not recognize cmd.exe.
Why not just use the mkdir() method of the File class? This create a new directory and I believe this should work in Mac too though I did not really test it. But I believe it should work. The code will look like this:          File f = new File("dirname/");
         f.mkdir(); The dirname may be absolute, and may or may not end with a /.
I hope this soles your problem.
