Hello.

Following up from threads earlier this year,

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-February/001061.html http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-March/001191.html

I'm willing and interested to sponsor getting String.join functionality into JDK 7.

To address this particular bug, I think there should be new "join" methods on String as opposed to a general "joiner" class. A more general class could be added later.

Remi, please point to a current draft of the specification and implementation for your change.

Kevin, I'm interested in hearing your comments on the API design.

Thanks,

-Joe
