I wonder if there is a reason or if it's just a miss. Agree. I wonder if there is a reason or if it’s just a miss.

In .net you do get this method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string_methods(v=VS.100).aspx. Like you say, trivial to write your own, but as it is so general purpose it should be part of the language. I imagine in the Java world, every codebase has it's own version of Join, with slightly differing signatures! It does seem to be a bit of an oversight.
