要创建文件而不覆盖现有文件，请执行以下操作：

System.out.println("Choose folder to create file");
JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
c.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
c.showOpenDialog(c);
c.getSelectedFile();
f = c.getSelectedFile(); // File f - global variable
String newfile = f + "\\hi.doc";//.txt or .doc or .html
File file = new File(newfile);

try {
    //System.out.println(f);
    boolean flag = file.createNewFile();

    if(flag == true) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File created successfully");
    }
    else {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File already exists");
    }
    /* Or use exists() function as follows:
        if(file.exists() == true) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File already exists");
        }
        else {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "File created successfully");
        }
    */
}
catch(Exception e) {
    // Any exception handling method of your choice
}

使用Google的Guava库，我们可以创建和写入文件容易地

package com.zetcode.writetofileex;

import com.google.common.io.Files;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class WriteToFileEx {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        String fileName = "fruits.txt";
        File file = new File(fileName);

        String content = "banana, orange, lemon, apple, plum";

        Files.write(content.getBytes(), file);
    }
}

该示例在项目根目录中创建一个新的fruits.txt文件。

您甚至可以使用系统属性创建临时文件，该属性与您使用的操作系统无关。

File file = new File(System.*getProperty*("java.io.tmpdir") +
                     System.*getProperty*("file.separator") +
                     "YourFileName.txt");

有一些简单的方法，例如：

File file = new File("filename.txt");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);

pw.write("The world I'm coming");
pw.close();

String write = "Hello World!";

FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);

fw.write(write);

fw.close();

在Java 11+中，编写纯文本：

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

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。
