More precisely: StringBuffer for jdk1.4 and below, StringBuilder for jdk1.5 and after, since the latter is not synchronized, hence a little faster.

Istead of two iter.hasNext() invocations I usually append delimeter and then "return buf.substring(0, buf.length() - delimeter.length())".

You can streamline it a tiny bit by exiting early to avoid the delimiter: while (true) ( add_iter; if (! iter.hasNext()) break; add_delim; }
