在Java8中，使用文件和路径，并使用trywithresources构造。

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class WriteFile{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String file = "text.txt";
        System.out.println("Writing to file: " + file);
        // Files.newBufferedWriter() uses UTF-8 encoding by default
        try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(Paths.get(file))) {
            writer.write("Java\n");
            writer.write("Python\n");
            writer.write("Clojure\n");
            writer.write("Scala\n");
            writer.write("JavaScript\n");
        } // the file will be automatically closed
    }
}

请注意，下面的每个代码示例都可能引发IOException。为了简洁起见，省略了Try/catch/finally块。有关异常处理的信息，请参阅本教程。

请注意，如果文件已经存在，下面的每个代码示例都将覆盖该文件

创建文本文件：

PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("the-file-name.txt", "UTF-8");
writer.println("The first line");
writer.println("The second line");
writer.close();

创建二进制文件：

byte data[] = ...
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("the-file-name");
out.write(data);
out.close();

Java 7+用户可以使用Files类写入文件：

创建文本文件：

List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("The first line", "The second line");
Path file = Paths.get("the-file-name.txt");
Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
//Files.write(file, lines, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

创建二进制文件：

byte data[] = ...
Path file = Paths.get("the-file-name");
Files.write(file, data);
//Files.write(file, data, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

在Java 7及以上版本中：

try (Writer writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
              new FileOutputStream("filename.txt"), "utf-8"))) {
   writer.write("something");
}

但有一些有用的实用程序：

来自commons io的FileUtils.writeStringtoFile（..）来自番石榴的文件.write（..）

还要注意，您可以使用FileWriter，但它使用默认编码，这通常是一个坏主意-最好显式指定编码。

以下是Java 7之前的原始答案

Writer writer = null;

try {
    writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
          new FileOutputStream("filename.txt"), "utf-8"));
    writer.write("Something");
} catch (IOException ex) {
    // Report
} finally {
   try {writer.close();} catch (Exception ex) {/*ignore*/}
}

另请参阅：读取、写入和创建文件（包括NIO2）。

如果出于某种原因想要将创建和编写行为分开，那么Java中的touch等价物是

try {
   //create a file named "testfile.txt" in the current working directory
   File myFile = new File("testfile.txt");
   if ( myFile.createNewFile() ) {
      System.out.println("Success!");
   } else {
      System.out.println("Failure!");
   }
} catch ( IOException ioe ) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }

createNewFile（）执行存在性检查，并自动创建文件。例如，如果您希望在写入文件之前确保自己是文件的创建者，这可能很有用。

在Java 11+中，编写纯文本：

Files.writeString(Path.of("filename.txt"), "some-text");

package fileoperations;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class SimpleFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        File file =new File("text.txt");
        file.createNewFile();
        System.out.println("File is created");
        FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file);

        // Writes the content to the file
        writer.write("Enter the text that you want to write"); 
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        System.out.println("Data is entered into file");
    }
}
