 StringUtils.split("a.b.c", '.')    = ["a", "b", "c"]
 StringUtils.split("a..b.c", '.')   = ["a", "b", "c"]
 StringUtils.split("a:b:c", '.')    = ["a:b:c"]
 StringUtils.split("a\tb\nc", null) = ["a", "b", "c"]
 StringUtils.split("a b c", ' ')    = ["a", "b", "c"]
 

Parameters:

str - the String to parse, may be null

separatorChar - the character used as the delimiter, null splits on whitespace

Returns:

an array of parsed Strings, null if null String input
