being immutable also means you can not modify them ;)

how so? what is wrong with StringBuffer? (please, no performance
stuff, Java is pretty fast these days, almost as fast as C++ and C
for most applications).
only problem I see with java stringbuffers, is that it is easier to
convert them to arrays first whenever you need to do scanning
and replacments on them. it is always easier to write a[i], than
a.elementAt(i), etc.. then covert the array back to string at the end.
other than that, they are ok.
