Thanks for the reply.
The reason I want to do this:
The <path/> task is depending on property ${lib.dir} to build the classpath.
In cases where ${lib.dir} did not exist I want to do a mkdir otherwise the
build fails. I was looking for a way to create the required dirs prior to
<path/> executing.
I will try your script solution.
