How to create a println/print method for a custom class

Question

I\'m working in Java on a project that requires me to make a few \'container\' classes, if you will. Here is a simple version of one:

public class Pair{

You could extend ArrayList and override the toString() method:

public class MyArrayList extends ArrayList {
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // format your print here...
    }
}

But this is overkill. I would just write a print utility method.

public class MyUtils {
    public String toString( ArrayList ) {
        // format your print here;
    }
}
