How to save a file in .rtf format

I'm using an JFileChooser to make a save function. But I want to save my files in a .rtf format how do I do this?

My code right now is:

@Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

        JFileChooser saveFile = new JFileChooser();
        int option = saveFile.showSaveDialog(null);
        saveFile.setDialogTitle("Save the file...");
//      saveFile.setFileFilter(new FileNameExtensionFilter("Text Files", "txt", "rtf"));

        if (option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            try {
                BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(saveFile.getSelectedFile().getPath()));
                writer.write(text);
                writer.close();

            } catch (IOException ex) {

                ex.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Failed to save the file");
            }
        }
    }//End of method
}//End of inner class

So I need to implement a code for saving the file into a .rtf

Presuming (in the absence of an SSCCE) that the JEditorPane is already set to text/rtf and contains some formatted text, the easiest way to serialize it is:

editorPane.write( writer );

See JTextComponent.write(Writer) for details.
