The Java 7 Files utility type is useful for working with files   import java nio charset StandardCharsets  import java nio file Files  import java nio file Path  import java nio file Paths  import java io IOException  import java util     public class WriteReadUtf8     public static void main String   args  throws IOException       List lt String gt  lines   Arrays asList  These    are    lines         Path textFile   Paths get  foo txt        Files write textFile  lines  StandardCharsets UTF 8        List lt String gt  read   Files readAllLines textFile  StandardCharsets UTF 8        System out println lines equals read            The Java 8 version allows you to omit the Charset argument - the methods default to UTF-8

Instead of using FileWriter  create a FileOutputStream  You can then wrap this in an OutputStreamWriter  which allows you to pass an encoding in the constructor  Then you can write your data to that inside a try-with-resources Statement   try  OutputStreamWriter writer                new OutputStreamWriter new FileOutputStream PROPERTIES FILE   StandardCharsets UTF 8          do stuff
