我认为这是最短的路：

FileWriter fr = new FileWriter("your_file_name.txt"); // After '.' write
// your file extention (".txt" in this case)
fr.write("Things you want to write into the file"); // Warning: this will REPLACE your old file content!
fr.close();

Use:

try (Writer writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("myFile.txt"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8))) {
    writer.write("text to write");
} 
catch (IOException ex) {
    // Handle me
}  

使用try（）将自动关闭流。此版本短、快（缓冲），并支持选择编码。

这个特性是在Java7中引入的。

这里有一个创建或覆盖文件的小示例程序。这是一个长版本，因此可以更容易理解。

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.Writer;

public class writer {
    public void writing() {
        try {
            //Whatever the file path is.
            File statText = new File("E:/Java/Reference/bin/images/statsTest.txt");
            FileOutputStream is = new FileOutputStream(statText);
            OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(is);    
            Writer w = new BufferedWriter(osw);
            w.write("POTATO!!!");
            w.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Problem writing to the file statsTest.txt");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[]args) {
        writer write = new writer();
        write.writing();
    }
}

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。

Use:

JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
c.showOpenDialog(c);
File writeFile = c.getSelectedFile();
String content = "Input the data here to be written to your file";

try {
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(writeFile);
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
    bw.append(content);
    bw.append("hiiiii");
    bw.close();
    fw.close();
}
catch (Exception exc) {
   System.out.println(exc);
}

    public static void writefromFile(ArrayList<String> lines, String destPath) {
        FileWriter fw;
        try {
            fw = new FileWriter(destPath);
            for (String str : lines) {
                fw.write(str);
            }
            fw.close();
         } catch (IOException ex) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("ERROR: exception was: " + ex.toString());
        }
        File f = new File(destPath);
        f.setExecutable(true);
    }
