Use positive lookbehind. And also in matches function, you need to escape the dot like string.matches(".*\\..*"), since dot is a regex special character which matches any character.

String[] parts = string.split("(?<=\\.)");

or

If you don't want to do a split after the last dot.

String[] parts = string.split("(?<=\\.)(?!$)");

use regex "\\."

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String string = "This is a example.just to verify.please help me.";
        if (string.matches("(.*).(.*)")) {
            System.out.println(true);
            String[] parts = string.split("\\.");
            for (String part : parts) {
                System.out.println(part);
            }
        }
    }
