title: Java mkdir from command prompt
body: <p>I want to create a folder that starts with <code>.</code> character. I tried <code>File(path).mkdir()</code> but does not work. I cannot create from "right click->new folder". Windows blocks creating folders starting with dot character. From command prompt I can easily create via <code>mkdir [folder_name]</code>. Do I have any mistakes here. If not how can I execute this command in java or any other suggestion will be helpful?</p>
  
  <p>Note: <code>Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mkdir .test"); //Does not work</code></p>
  
  <p>Note2: My code will be platform dependent.</p>
