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);
    }

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）。

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
}

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";
    }

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。

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");
    }
}
