Here’s the translation of the Go code for working with directories to Java, along with explanations in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:

Our Java program demonstrates various operations for working with directories in the file system.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class DirectoryOperations {

    private static void check(Exception e) {
        if (e != null) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a new sub-directory in the current working directory.
        File subdir = new File("subdir");
        boolean created = subdir.mkdir();
        check(created ? null : new IOException("Failed to create directory"));

        // When creating temporary directories, it's good practice to delete them when done.
        // We'll use a try-with-resources to ensure cleanup.
        try {
            // Helper method to create a new empty file.
            createEmptyFile("subdir/file1");

            // We can create a hierarchy of directories, including parents.
            // This is similar to the command-line `mkdir -p`.
            File parentChild = new File("subdir/parent/child");
            created = parentChild.mkdirs();
            check(created ? null : new IOException("Failed to create directories"));

            createEmptyFile("subdir/parent/file2");
            createEmptyFile("subdir/parent/file3");
            createEmptyFile("subdir/parent/child/file4");

            // list directory contents
            File parentDir = new File("subdir/parent");
            System.out.println("Listing subdir/parent");
            for (File entry : parentDir.listFiles()) {
                System.out.println("  " + entry.getName() + " " + entry.isDirectory());
            }

            // Change the current working directory
            System.setProperty("user.dir", "subdir/parent/child");

            // Now we'll see the contents of subdir/parent/child
            // when listing the current directory.
            File currentDir = new File(".");
            System.out.println("Listing subdir/parent/child");
            for (File entry : currentDir.listFiles()) {
                System.out.println("  " + entry.getName() + " " + entry.isDirectory());
            }

            // Change back to where we started
            System.setProperty("user.dir", "../../..");

            // We can also visit a directory recursively,
            // including all its sub-directories.
            System.out.println("Visiting subdir");
            Files.walkFileTree(Paths.get("subdir"), new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
                @Override
                public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
                    System.out.println("  " + file + " " + Files.isDirectory(file));
                    return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
                }

                @Override
                public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
                    System.out.println("  " + dir + " " + Files.isDirectory(dir));
                    return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
                }
            });

        } finally {
            // Clean up: delete the temporary directory and all its contents
            deleteDirectory(new File("subdir"));
        }
    }

    private static void createEmptyFile(String name) throws IOException {
        File file = new File(name);
        file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
        file.createNewFile();
    }

    private static void deleteDirectory(File dir) {
        File[] files = dir.listFiles();
        if (files != null) {
            for (File file : files) {
                if (file.isDirectory()) {
                    deleteDirectory(file);
                } else {
                    file.delete();
                }
            }
        }
        dir.delete();
    }
}

This Java program demonstrates various operations for working with directories:

We create a new subdirectory using File.mkdir().
We use a helper method to create empty files.
We create a hierarchy of directories using File.mkdirs().
We list directory contents using File.listFiles().
We change the current working directory using System.setProperty("user.dir", ...).
We recursively visit a directory structure using Files.walkFileTree().
Finally, we clean up by deleting the temporary directory structure.

To run this program, save it as DirectoryOperations.java and use the following commands:

$ javac DirectoryOperations.java
$ java DirectoryOperations

The output will show the directory listings and the recursive visit of the directory structure.

Remember that working with files and directories can throw IOExceptions, so in a production environment, you should handle these exceptions appropriately.
