  It is possible to generate non-overlapping sublists of length n of a given list

  For example, if a list is (A, B, B, C), then the non-overlapping sublists of length 2 will be:

  ( (A), (B, B, C) )
  
( (B, B, C), (A) )
  
( (B), (A, B, C) )
  
( (A, B, C), (B) )
  
( (A, B), (B, C) )
  
( (B, C), (A, B) )
  
( (B, B), (A, C) )
  
( (A, C), (B, B) )
  
( (A, B, B), (C) )
  
( (C), (A, B, B) )


  To do that you should use an instance of the complex combination generator


  // create a vector (A, B, B, C)
  ICombinatoricsVector<String> vector = Factory.createVector(new String[] { "A", "B", "B", "C" });

  // Create a complex-combination generator
  Generator<ICombinatoricsVector<String>> gen = new ComplexCombinationGenerator<String>(vector, 2);

  // Iterate the combinations
  for (ICombinatoricsVector<ICombinatoricsVector<String>> comb : gen) {
     System.out.println(ComplexCombinationGenerator.convert2String(comb) + " - " + comb);
  }




  And the result
