File by itself won't let you create an empty file.  You can create
with FileOutputStream and writing no bytes. Just close.


Are you sure about that? It seems to work just fine for me.

//code
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Test {
	
	private void makeFile(){
		
		File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.home"),
							 "testfile.txt");
		
		System.out.println("Checking existence of file: "
				 			+ file.toString());
		if (file.exists()) {
			System.out.println("Found!");
		} else {
			System.out.println("File not found!" +
								"\nCreating file.");
			
			try {
				if (file.createNewFile()) {
					System.out.println("File created!");
				}
			} catch (IOException e) {
				System.out.println("Unable to create file!");
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
		
	}
	
	
	public static void main(String[] args){
		Test t = new Test();
		t.makeFile();
		System.out.println("Done.");
		System.exit(0);
	}

}
// end code
