Convert linear ring to multilinestring and split into segments of x length

Question

I have a linear ring created from points. I would then like to create a multilinestring from that and subsequently split that into segments of 7 metres each.

I tried the following but got 'LinearRing cannot be cast to class org.locationtech.jts.geom.MultiLineString'.

GeometryFactory gf = new GeometryFactory();
LinearRing outer = gf.createLinearRing(coords.toArray(new Coordinate[] {}));
Polygon polygon = gf.createPolygon( outer, null );
MultiLineString mlslr = gf.createMultiLineString(new LineString[]{polygon.getExteriorRing()});

I developped exactly what you describe here. Feel free to reuse !

I called it "little thumbling densifier", as a reference to this tale. I have proposed to include it as part of JTS (see here) so that it can also appear in GeoTools.
