public class StringListSplitter

extends java.lang.Object

Helper to convert String lists (f.e. comma seperated "111,222,333") to Lists of seperate Strings.
StringListSplitter is very similar to a StringTokenizer.
Relevant differences are:
The StringListSplitter does the whole work (fills the tokens into a List)
The StringListSplitter can keep empty elements.
