    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List list = Arrays.asList("one Two three Four five six".split(" "));
        System.out.println("List :" + list);
        Collections.rotate(list, 3);
        System.out.println("rotate: " + list);
    }

}

import java.util.*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

List list = Arrays.asList("one Two three Four five six".split(" "));

System.out.println("List :" + list);

Collections.rotate(list, 3);

System.out.println("rotate: " + list);

}
