If you want to do it manually :

public static List getIntervals2(String[] parent, String[] child) {
    List intervals = new ArrayList();

    for (int i = 0; i < parent.length; i++) {
        if (child[0].equals(parent[i])) {
            Interval interval = new Interval();
            interval.start = i;
            intervals.add(interval);
        }
    }

    ListIterator iterator = intervals.listIterator();
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        Interval interval = iterator.next();
        for (int j = 1, i = interval.start + 1; i < child.length; i++, j++) {
            if (!child[j].equals(parent[i]))
                iterator.remove();
        }
        if (interval.start + child.length - 1 < parent.length - 1)
            interval.end = interval.start + child.length - 1;
        else
            iterator.remove();
    }

    return intervals;
}
