A builder dedicated at generating a file directory structure from a specification. For example, imagine that you want to create the following tree:
 src/
  |--- main
  |     |--- groovy
  |            |--- Foo.groovy
  |--- test
        |--- groovy
               |--- FooTest.groovy
 
 Then you can create the structure using:
     def tree = new FileTreeBuilder()
     tree.dir('src') {
        dir('main') {
           dir('groovy') {
              file('Foo.groovy', 'println "Hello"')
           }
        }
        dir('test') {
           dir('groovy') {
              file('FooTest.groovy', 'class FooTest extends GroovyTestCase {}')
           }
        }
     }
 or with this shorthand syntax:
     def tree = new FileTreeBuilder()
     tree.src {
        main {
           groovy {
              'Foo.groovy'('println "Hello"')
           }
        }
        test {
           groovy {
              'FooTest.groovy'('class FooTest extends GroovyTestCase {}')
           }
        }
     }
