Move/copy `Splitter` from Guava into Collections #257

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Joining and splitting are complements and belong together. It's not even
uncommon to use both in a single block of code.

However, while there is a great `Splitter` class by now, it resides in the
Guava project and it's still written in the stars when that will be
released. While one should be able to include Collections as a recent
library real soon now, it looks like one needs to carry a few separate
classes it depends on from SVN around to get `Splitter` to the party.

I suggest to move `Splitter` to Collections in the short term (i.e. it
should be included in 1.0 or even RC3) so people can start using it ASAP.
According to the plans of merging Collections into Guava, it will end up in
the latter anyway.

I'm sorry, but this only adds more headaches for us, which we have too many of
already.  Splitter and Joiner do belong together, in Guava, which can't happen 
until
after collections 1.0, which would be delayed at least a week if we complied 
with
this one request.

Hang in there guys and gals!
