new File("/path/to/folder").mkdir();
If you want to created nested folders (i.e. more than one folder on the path may be missing), then use mkdirs(). See java.io.File.
Note that forward slashes would normally not work on windows, but Java normalizes the path and translates forward to backward slashes.

reply For above comment - Resolved the issue : Instead of giving path as " /xyz.com/appFolder/ " , should give full path as "home/XYZ/public_html/appFolder"
try{
String strDirectoy ="test";
String strManyDirectories="dir1"+File.Separator+"dir2"+File.Separator+"dir3";
// Create one directory
boolean success = (new File(strDirectoy)).mkdir();
if (success) {
System.out.println("Directory: " + strDirectoy + " created");
}
// Create multiple directories
success = (new File(strManyDirectories)).mkdirs();
if (success) {
System.out.println("Directories: " + strManyDirectories + " created");
}
}catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

Use File.mkdir() (http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html#mkdir())

try{
int a,b;
a=mk.dir();
b=newfile("\n new.java());
}
