        FileOutputStream fileWriter = new FileOutputStream(reader.readLine(), true);
        while (fileReader.available() > 0) {
            int data = fileReader.read();
            fileWriter.write(data);
        }
        fileReader.close();
        fileWriter.close();
        reader.close();

This can be done in pure Java... It reads the second file and appends to the first file.
Keep in mind, that this will not work for large files, since it saves all of fileA content into memory.

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the first file path");
String fileA = reader.next();
System.out.println("Enter the second file path");
String fileB = reader.next();

try {

    // Read from and cache fileA
    StringBuilder cache = new StringBuilder();
    BufferedReader readerA = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileA)));
    String line = null;
    while((line = readerA.readLine()) != null) {
        cache.append(line);cache.append("
");
    }
    readerA.close();

    // Read from fileB and overwrite to fileA
    FileWriter writerB = new FileWriter(new File(fileA));
    BufferedReader readerB = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileB)));
    line = null;
    while((line = readerB.readLine()) != null) {
        writerB.write(line);writerB.write("
");
    }
    writerB.close();
    readerB.close();

    // Append original fileA content back into fileA
    FileWriter writerA = new FileWriter(new File(fileA), true);
    writerA.write(cache.toString());
    writerA.close();

} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
