<div>
// File (or directory) with old name<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; File file = new File(&quot;oldname&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; // File (or directory) with new name<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; File file2 = new File(&quot;newname&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; // Rename file (or directory)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; boolean success = file.renameTo(file2);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; if (!success) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // File was not successfully renamed<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
I have found this for the file, how would I get this portion of the program to read the file and write it back as a different name?

Write a program that reads a Java source file and writes it back without any changes under a new name.

Reads a Java Source File and Writes it Back

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
