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
}

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
    }
}

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");
    }
}

以下是编写文件的代码，也在退出帮助内容网页时删除：

public String writeHelpContent(String filePath, String helpPageContent) throws IOException{
        logger.info("HowToUseRiskOfficeHelpService - writeHelpContent start");
        File file = new File(filePath);
        try(FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);){
            file.deleteOnExit();
            if(file.createNewFile()) {
                logger.info("HowToUseRiskOfficeHelpService - file created successfully");
            }else {
                logger.info("HowToUseRiskOfficeHelpService - file already exists");
            }
            fw.write(helpPageContent); 
            fw.flush();
        }

        return "Sucessfully write into help page file";
    }

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*/}
}
