    I have to ask...why does it have to be a particular sized string?

    as for a nicer way.... eye of the beholder and all that...

    import java.util.Arrays;

    public class StringUtils {

        public static String makeString(int sizeOfString) {
           char[] rawStringArray = new char[sizeOfString];
           Arrays.fill(rawStringArray, ' ');

           return new String(rawStringArray);
        }

    }
