Martin, I've updated the toString() method as you suggested. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bugs-5015163-7172553/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bugs-5015163-7172553/> Thanks, Jim On 04/18/2013 05:02 PM, Martin Buchholz wrote:

That was a nice idea, but you don't want to change the value when you do toString(). Otherwise, if you subsequently add a new element, you're hosed because you've already added on the suffix.
You can cheaply save the current length, append the suffix, call toString, and reset the length back to the old value to avoid the overhead of String "+".
