    private void jMenuItem2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
        // TODO add your handling code here:
 
        FileDialog nameBox;
        nameBox = new FileDialog(this, "Save Peptides",FileDialog.SAVE);
        nameBox.setVisible(true);
        String fileDirectory = nameBox.getDirectory();
        String savename = nameBox.getFile();
        savename = fileDirectory.concat(savename);
 
        JTextPane in = jTextPane3; 
        try (PrintWriter pWriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(savename))) {
            pWriter.println(in);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(VeiwJFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

instead of the text insided the jtextpanel.

any help would be appreciated.

Then save JTextPane.getText() rather than the specifics of the JTextPane itself.
