How to write text to a file in Java?

1. Using PrintWriter

public class WriteFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "D:\\temp.txt";
        PrintWriter writer = null;
        try {
            //will replace existing file.
            writer = new PrintWriter(fileName);
            writer.println("This is first line.");
            writer.println("This is second line");
            writer.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            //occurs when user does not have permission to create file.
            e.printStackTrace();

        } finally {
            if (writer != null) {
                writer.close();
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Using Files class (JDK 7+)

public class WriteFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("Line One", "Line Two");
        Path file = Paths.get("D:\\test.txt");
        Files.write(file, lines, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
    }
}
