Hello manu-

On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.

As to your question, what have you tried? Properties files are pretty easy to create; it could be as simple as:

Properties props = new Properties()
props.setProperty("name", "value")
props.store(new FileOutputStream(new File("...")), "my interesting comment")

You can create a Temporary file using the below code

    
    try {
        // Create temp file.
        File temp = File.createTempFile("pattern", ".suffix");
    
        // Delete temp file when program exits.
        temp.deleteOnExit();
    
        // Write to temp file
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
        out.write("aString");
        out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

just change the .suffix by .properties and write the key-value pair according to your requirement.For example
out.write("aKey="+value);
