By using lastIndexOf()
& substring()
methods of Java.lang.String
// int firstIndex = str.indexOf( separator );
int lastIndexOf = str.lastIndexOf( separator );
String begningPortion = str.substring( 0, lastIndexOf );
String endPortion = str.substring( lastIndexOf + 1 );
System.out.println("First Portion : " + begningPortion );
System.out.println("Last Portion : " + endPortion );
split()
Java SE 1.4. Splits the provided text into an array.
String[] split = str.split( Pattern.quote( separator ) );
String lastOne = split[split.length-1];
System.out.println("Split Array : "+ lastOne);
Java 8 sequential ordered stream from an array.
String firstItem = Stream.of( split )
.reduce( (first,last) -> first ).get();
String lastItem = Stream.of( split )
.reduce( (first,last) -> last ).get();
System.out.println("First Item : "+ firstItem);
System.out.println("Last Item : "+ lastItem);

Scripting for the Java Platform « Run Javascript on the JVM with Rhino/Nashorn
Rhino « Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users. It is embedded in J2SE 6 as the default Java scripting engine.
Nashorn is a JavaScript engine developed in the Java programming language by Oracle. It is based on the Da Vinci Machine and has been released with Java 8.
