PrintWriter not writing to file, tried adding flush() and close() Java?

PrintWriter swallows exceptions. See the Javadoc. You need to call checkError() .

Better still, use BufferedWriter which doesn't swallow them. You're probably running up against an apple sandbox permission problem unless your applet is signed.

First Tipp: close the file! Under catch ioexception you add a finally block.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
