Printing exceptions (printStackTrace()) in a file

Question

Dear everyone,
I need to print the exceptions' stack traces in a file
(e.printStackTrace()).
How do I do that?
I attempted by setting the out stream (System.setOut())
to my file's print stream. But it didn't work.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
George

Simple :
  try {
    //code
  } catch (Throwable t) {
    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("c:\\temp\\error.txt"));
    t.printStackTrace(writer);
    writer.flush();
    writer.close();
  }
