`folder.mkdir();`. Check the return value. Do not just suppose and say that it is created. – greenapps Sep 15 '16 at 07:30
What is wrong with `folder.setReadOnly();` ? – greenapps Sep 15 '16 at 11:32
Java has AFAIK no good working API for changing file/directory permissions. For changing file permissions you have to call `chmod`/`chgrp`. – Robert Sep 17 '16 at 11:55
