Description

Creating a new FileWriterWithEncoding for an existing file no longer truncates the file. This was the case in the versions before including 2.10.0.

Starting with 2.11.0 i'm facing issues with files containing my new content but still have the old one if the existing file was larger than the new content.

 

commit b2811e86 seems to introduce the problem - i think we should use StandardOpenOption.CREATE_NEW instead of StandardOpenOption.CREATE (inside the initWriter method)
