Creating a Mac OS X disk image from the command line

I have been the one building the Mac OS X disk images for JDeveloper for the last couple of years, and realized that not everyone knew (when I asked around) that you could do it from the commandline.

The syntax is:

hdiutil {action} {arguments}

I typically use:

hdiutil create -srcfolder FolderNamer DiskImageName.dmg

Quite easy to use, and easily scriptable. Now if only we could build this on out linux build machines with an Ant task.
