Splitting the string in Java to give the desired output

I have a String like "key=value==". I want to split the above to give me the output as 

key  
value==

When i used ("key=value==").split("="), it gave me the below

key
value

I understand why it is giving this(because of '=' in value==).May I know how to correct it? How should i write my Java code so that I can get below as output 

key  
value==

Using a regular expression as the split-statement is also possible:

("key=value==").split("\\=(?!=)(?!$)");

This expression will match any '=' if it is not followed by another '=' or if it is not the last one in the current line.

You can specify a limit for the split function. The second parameter is the maximum number of elements you want to get. In your case that is 2. 

("key=value==").split("=",2)

After some tries, I got the solution as below

("key=value==").split("=",2);
