How to save a file from a URL with Java

I'm have a list of URLs, and I need to save files from them to my local folder.

All URLs are links to images, one image per URL. Do I need to read data from the URL or is there any sort of library where I can just specify the URL and file name (of course, get an image extension before) and save it?

Being a Linux administrator, the first thing that comes to mind is possibly using a Wget list function. From Java you could call something like:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(" wget -i list_of_images.txt");

With the .txt file containing the list of all the images, you could export the images to a temporary list. This is a rough method to do it, but it should work.

Get an InputStream via URL#openStream and write it to a File (e.g. via FileWriter) to your desired location.
