The scala collections library has the grouped() method. From the scaladoc: defgrouped (size: Int <http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Int.html> ): Iterator<http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/collection/Iterator.html> [List<http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/collection/immutable/List.html> [A]]
Partitions elements in fixed size lists. size the number of elements per group returns An iterator producing lists of size size, except the last will be truncated if the elements don't divide evenly. I'm not suggesting you should jump to scala to use its collections library, or even use scala-library.jar from your Java app, but I do find this method together with groupBy() one of the more useful bits of functionality. Pity something like it isn't supported by other 3rd party collections for Java.
