Splitting a space separated list

Question

This is a common task I\'m facing: splitting a space separated list into a head element and an array containing the tail elements. For example, given this

Answer 1

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = "the quick brown fox";
        int indexOf = s.indexOf(' ');
        String head = s.substring(0, indexOf);
        String[] tail = s.substring(indexOf + 1).split(" +");
        System.out.println(head + " : " + Arrays.asList(tail));
    }

Would have been much easier in Haskell :)
