I cannot create a file

Question

Hi. In my application I'm trying hard to create a file storing accounts information "accounts.dat", but I am not able to do so, after trying many things. This is the final code that I have, but I don't see a new file created. Any suggestion?
          try
               File file = new File( accountsFile ); // accountsFile = "accounts.dat"
               // Create file if it does not exist
               boolean success = file.createNewFile();
               if ( success )
                    // File did not exist and was created
               else
                    // File already exists
               writer = new PrintWriter( new FileOutputStream( file ) );
               reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new FileInputStream( file ) ) );
          catch ( IOException e )
               e.printStackTrace();
          }

The file may initially exist or not, if not I'm trying to create it.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class AccountsManager
     private Vector accounts;
     private String accountsFile;
     private PrintWriter writer;
     private BufferedReader reader;
     public AccountsManager( String accFile )
          accounts = new Vector();
          accountsFile = accFile;
          initializeFileStreams();
          loadAccounts();
     public void initializeFileStreams()
          try
               File file = new File( accountsFile );
               // Create file if it does not exist
               boolean success = file.createNewFile();
               if ( success )
                    // File did not exist and was created
               else
                    // File already exists
               writer = new PrintWriter( new FileOutputStream( file ) );
               reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new FileInputStream( file ) ) );
          catch ( IOException e )
               e.printStackTrace();
     public void loadAccounts()
          Account a;
          String userName, password;
          try
               while ( ( userName = reader.readLine() ) != null
                              && ( password = reader.readLine() ) != null )
                    addAccount( userName, password );
          catch ( EOFException eofe )
               // do nothing; simply return
          catch ( IOException ioe )
               ioe.printStackTrace();
     public void saveAccounts()
          Account a;
          for ( int i = 0; i < accounts.size(); i++ )
               a = ( Account ) accounts.elementAt( i );
               writer.println( a.getUserName() );
               writer.println( a.getPassword() );
          writer.flush();
          writer.close();
     }
