Are the Java-classes in java.util of any help? Especially Arrays, 
ArrayList and so on are worth looking into. They might already provide 
what you are looking for.

Implementing tostring and fromstring is not all that difficult in many 
cases anyway using the string class, list comprehension and so on

Hope that helps.
