Possible Strings with given string characters

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.ArrayUtils;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

public class PossibleStrings {
     
      public static void main(String[] args) {
            PossibleStrings possibleStrings = new PossibleStrings();
            possibleStrings.processAndPrint("abc");
      }

      public void processAndPrint(String text) {
            int length = text.length();
            char[] array = new char[length];
            text.getChars(0, length, array, 0);
            System.out.println("Possible Strings:");
            List<String> list = possibleStrings(new ArrayList<String>(), StringUtils.EMPTY, array);         
            for (String string : list) {
                  System.out.println(string);
            }
            System.out.println("All Possible Strings:");
            int maxWordLength = 3;
            list = allPossibleStrings(new ArrayList<String>(), StringUtils.EMPTY, array, maxWordLength);        
            for (String string : list) {
                  System.out.println(string);
            }
      }

      private List<String> possibleStrings(List<String> list, String prefix, char array[]) {
            int length = array.length;
            if (length == 0) {
                  list.add(prefix);
                  return list;
            }
            for (int index = 0; index < length; index++) {
                  possibleStrings(list, prefix + array[index], ArrayUtils.remove(array, index));
            }
            return list;
      }
     
      private List<String> allPossibleStrings(List<String> list, String prefix, char array[], int wordLength) {         
            if (wordLength == 0) {
                  return list;
            }
            int length = array.length;
            String newPrefix = null;
            for (int index = 0; index < length; index++) {
                  newPrefix = prefix + array[index];
                  list.add(newPrefix);
                  allPossibleStrings(list, newPrefix, array, wordLength-1);
            }
            return list;
      }

}

Output:
