PrintWriter Using FileWriter As Parameter

How to write a new file:

import acm.program.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.PrintWriter.*;
import acm.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PrintWriter extends ConsoleProgram {

public void run() {

try {
PrintWriter wr = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter ("hello.txt") ) ;
wr.println("Hello world!");
wr.close();
} catch (IOException er) {
println("File could not be saved.");
}
}
}

(I added the imports at top myself.) However, I am getting compiler errors for the lines: PrintWriter wr = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter ("hello.txt") ) , which says that the constructor PrintWriter( FileWriter ) is undefined, and
wr.close();, which says close() method is undefined.

Pretty sure the only real problem is that PrintWriter is not accepting the FileWriter as constructor, but I don't see why. I have tried this on machine with JRE 1.4 and it worked as expected, creating new file titled "hello.txt", prints line of "Hello world!" in that file, and saves it to the directory I picked in the dialog. But I can't get it to work on this machine that uses Compiler 1.6, Java Runtime v8u25.

I have also tried using just a string in the parameter for PrintWriter, such as PrintWriter wr = new PrintWriter ("hello.txt") , and from what I can tell by reading the java spec for java 8, this should work. [URL] .... But I get error message for that constructor as well.
