The following short program:
===================

import java.io.*;

public class CreateFile {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    String path = "d:\\pd_projects\\test";
    File file = new File(path);

    file.mkdir();
    file.createNewFile();
  }
}


produces an exception:
===============

java.io.IOException: Access is denied
 at java.io.Win32FileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
 at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:693)
 at CreateFile.main(CreateFile.java:10)
Exception in thread "main"



If I re-order the code so that the file will be created before the
directory, the file is created but the directory does not and no exception
is thrown.


Can anyone help me on this?
