How do I write the exception from printStackTrace() into a text file in Java?

Question

I need to capture the exception in a text file in Java. For example:

try {
  File f = new File(\"\");
}
catch(FileNotFoundException f) {
  f.printStackTrac

Try to expand on this simple example:

catch (Exception e) {

    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new File("file.txt"));
    e.printStackTrace(pw);
    pw.close();
}

As you can see, printStackTrace() has overloads.
