Typically I use regular expressions for this, here's just one way:

import java.io.File;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public final class NameMungle {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
     final String[] testData = { "a/b", "a/b/c.d", "a/b/c.d.e" };
     final String append = "test";
     final Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("([^.]*)(\\..*)");

     for (final String s : testData) {
       final File f = new File(s);
       final String basename = f.getName();
       final Matcher m = pat.matcher(basename);

       final File o = new File(f.getParentFile(),
         m.matches()
         ? m.group(1) + append + m.group(2)
         : basename + append);

       System.out.println(f + " -> " + o);
     }
   }
}

Kind regards
