Use a java.io.FileWriter or java.io.FileOutputStream, optionally also using a java.io.File, and when you specify the filename, give it the extension you want.

There may be examples in the API docs. If not it's pretty simple to figure out.Besides, using a particular filename extension is so trivial that I suspect that it's not the real problem, and any example without more info from you would be inapplicable.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking at how to create a file with a particular extension. It will be great if you can give me an example. I went through the java.io.FileWriter, java.io.FileOutputStream and java.io.File, but I was not able to get any kind of example.

Please let me know

Thanks

This attempts to create a new, empty file with the extension "pingu":boolean success = new File("penguin.pingu").createNewFile();

OK, fine, lazy-boy.

try {

FileWriter f = new FileWriter("file.yourextensionhere");

f.close();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

Hippolyte's is better, for the task of creating an empty file.
