How to swap String characters in Java?

How can I swap two characters in a String? For example, \"abcde\" will become \"bacde\".

This has been answered a few times but here's one more just for fun :-)

public class Tmp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(swapChars("abcde", 0, 1));
    }
    private static String swapChars(String str, int lIdx, int rIdx) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str);
        char l = sb.charAt(lIdx), r = sb.charAt(rIdx);
        sb.setCharAt(lIdx, r);
        sb.setCharAt(rIdx, l);
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
