Simple way to repeat a string

Question

I\'m looking for a simple commons method or operator that allows me to repeat some string n times. I know I could write this using a for loop, but I wish to avoid f

With java-8, you can also use Stream.generate.

import static java.util.stream.Collectors.joining;
...
String repeated = Stream.generate(() -> "abc").limit(3).collect(joining()); //"abcabcabc"

and you can wrap it in a simple utility method if needed:

public static String repeat(String str, int times) {
   return Stream.generate(() -> str).limit(times).collect(joining());
}
