Answer 1

Please check your project's root directory. It should be there by default. If you have specified the working directory in your run configuration -> arguments, you should check that folder. Besides, you can always get the complete file path in Java.

System.out.println(new File("User.xls").getAbsolutePath());

Answer 2

try this way to create file

FileOutputStream out =
            new FileOutputStream(new File("User.xls"));

This file will be stored in your class directory folder.

Ex: (Test.java is stored in (c://Workspace//src//Test.java) , the file also will store in same path c://Workspace//src//User.xls")
