why my log doesn't show newlines in notepad only in writer (Java)

I'm developing an app in Java which captures string and generates a log text

public static void createTXTLog(String pathLog, String textLog){
    try{
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(pathLog));
        writer.write(textLog);
        writer.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println("An error occured while generating log txt: \n" + e.toString());
    }
}

when I open my log generated by this method it shows in notepad something like this:

09-12-2013 17:48:18 :[INF] Creando la conexion a la BD... 09-12-2013 17:48:18 :[eW003][ERR][inicioProceso] Error en la creacion de la conexion a la BD: java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was:180.176.40.134:1522:DBDESAS

But if I open this on Writer it shows properly:

09-12-2013 17:48:18 :[INF] Creando la conexion a la BD... 

09-12-2013 17:48:18 :[eW003][ERR][inicioProceso] Error en la creacion de la conexion a la BD: 
java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
180.176.40.134:1522:DBDESAS

Any idea how to fix it in notepad??? thanks in advance

This is certainly because you use "\n" instead of "\r\n" which the line separator in Windows.

Your problem is that you are only returning a new-line, not a carriage-return and new-line; which is what you need for a Windows text file. You could change this to the following.

System.out.println("An error occured while generating log txt:" + System.lineSeparator() + e);

Or if you're running on something other than Windows but will be looking at your file in Notepad in Windows, you could do this.

System.out.println("An error occured while generating log txt: \r\n" + e);

I took the liberty of removing the redundant toString() call.
