This is true. One wonders if OP has actually seen the vastness of Java SE or is just "hating" to "hate".

  I've seen it, and more often than not frustratedly turned to Apache Commons because the Java standard library is as vast as it is useless.

    The JRE lib seems to be a compromise between "common types for everybody, but leave the convenience to external libraries" and "batteries included". This leaves both camps deeply dissatisfied, but allows for a great deal of integration between libraries. Maybe I have looked at Microsoft flavored C++ one time too often, but the fact that a single string type could reign unchallenged for twenty years makes it easy for me to accept that I need to use weird imports to tackle exotic convenience desires via statics (that, and the sad underutilization of CharSequence).
