new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("stuff.txt")

Try doing this as a multi step process:

* First create a new File("stuff.txt")
* Then create the PrintWriter from that.

That way you can use the appropriate File method to print the full path and name of the file you are using.

I had this problem once before. My best guess is that your storing it in your src folder. Dont save it in that folder. You should be saving it in your (Project name) folder.
