In no case will I might suggest reworking the 1st sentence as it is a tad long and we could probably reduce the 'then' usages. Maybe instead of "In no case..." change to "Under no circumstances ...." Good points, Lance. I updated the verbiage. Should it also indicate an IOException will be thrown if the directory does not exist? I think that this is implicit in the second sentence of the revised version.
