I'm trying to save the user's selection into a text file, so that it can be loaded easily next time the user loads the application.
What would be the best way of doing so?

4If you want to save and retrieve user preferences check [Java Preferences API](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/core/preferences-api1.html#GUID-CEEFE98E-4AF7-4371-826F-2CF8BC9BA4BA) – seenukarthi Jul 29 '21 at 08:50

2[This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7777640/best-practice-for-setting-jframe-locations/7778332#7778332) serializes the options into a text file using the `Properties` API. Having said that, there are a lot of ways to skin this cat, both with forms of data and places to save it to. By limiting it to a text file might mean ruling out a better way of serialization, e.g. as mentioned by @KarthikeyanVaithilingam. – Andrew Thompson Jul 29 '21 at 09:19
