In my project, in a generator class I'm trying to create package folders from a given string path e.g. "com/example/config". Is there way (method) I can do it quickly without splitting the string by "/" and recursively creating one folder in another?

This is what I've tried so far:
def static generateJavaPackages(String pkgName, IProject projectDir, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
		val mainJavaFolder = '/src/main/java/'

		/* create package folders */
		try {
			
			projectDir.getFolder(mainJavaFolder + pkgName).create(true, true, monitor)
			
		} catch (Exception exception) {

			exception.printStackTrace()
		}
	}

This is a programming
question and perhaps more appropriate for somewhere like Stack Overflow.

EDIT: removed incorrect answer

I misread your question initially. You're on the right track, you will just need to recursively check the folder's
parent to see if it exists and create it if not.
