Is there a way to make PrintWriter output to UNIX format?

Question

In Java, of course. I\'m writing a program and running it under a Windows environment, but I need the output (.csv) to be done in Unix format. Any easy solution? Thanks!

A paranoid programmer would synchronize on the system properties object, at least if different Printwriters needs different types of line terminators.

public static PrintWriter createPrintWriter(OutputStreamWriter out, boolean autoflush){
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
    synchronized (props) {
        Object old = null;
        try {
        old = props.setProperty("line.separator", "\n");
        return  new PrintWriter(out, autoflush);
        } finally {
            if( old != null ) {
                props.put("line.separator", old);
            }
        }
    }
}
