如果我们使用的是Java7及以上版本，并且还知道要添加（附加）到文件中的内容，我们可以使用NIO包中的newBufferedWriter方法。

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Path FILE_PATH = Paths.get("C:/temp", "temp.txt");
    String text = "\n Welcome to Java 8";

    //Writing to the file temp.txt
    try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(FILE_PATH, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.APPEND)) {
        writer.write(text);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

有几点需要注意：

指定字符集编码总是一个好习惯，因此我们在类StandardCharset中有常量。代码使用try with resource语句，其中资源在try之后自动关闭。

虽然OP没有询问，但为了以防万一我们想搜索具有特定关键字的行，例如机密，我们可以使用Java中的流API：

//Reading from the file the first line which contains word "confidential"
try {
    Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(FILE_PATH);
    Optional<String> containsJava = lines.filter(l->l.contains("confidential")).findFirst();
    if(containsJava.isPresent()){
        System.out.println(containsJava.get());
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

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");
    }
}

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。

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();
    }
}

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
    }
}

以下是用Java创建和编写文件的一些可能方法：

使用FileOutputStream

try {
  File fout = new File("myOutFile.txt");
  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fout);
  BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fos));
  bw.write("Write somthing to the file ...");
  bw.newLine();
  bw.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e){
  // File was not found
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  // Problem when writing to the file
  e.printStackTrace();
}

使用FileWriter

try {
  FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("myOutFile.txt");
  fw.write("Example of content");
  fw.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  // File not found
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  // Error when writing to the file
  e.printStackTrace();
}

使用PrintWriter

try {
  PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter("myOutFile.txt");
  pw.write("Example of content");
  pw.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  // File not found
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  // Error when writing to the file
  e.printStackTrace();
}

使用OutputStreamWriter

try {
  File fout = new File("myOutFile.txt");
  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fout);
  OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
  osw.write("Soe content ...");
  osw.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  // File not found
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  // Error when writing to the file
  e.printStackTrace();
}
