Java: StringBuffer & Concatenation

Question

I\'m using StringBuffer in Java to concat strings together, like so:

StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();

str.append(\"string value\");

Answer 1

Can you not create a new class which wraps around StringBuffer and add an appendWithTrailingSpace() method?

CustomStringBuffer str = new CustomStringBuffer();
str.appendWithTrailingSpace("string value");

(Although you may want to call your method something a little shorter.)
