<mkdir>
The <mkdir> task (see Table 4.62) enables you to create a new directory in the file system. All nonexistent directories in the provided path will be created, so there is no need to create each directory in the path separately.
A common use of <mkdir> in a project is as an initialization target to set up the project directory structure.
| Attributes (Required) | Description |

| Dir | The directory to be created. |
Example
The following example illustrates how you use <mkdir> to create a directory named project/lib/ext in the base directory. If the project and lib directories in the path don’t exist, they are created also.
<mkdir dir = "project/lib/ext"/>
