2.1. Setting Up StringUtils and WordUtils
Problem
You want the ability to use
StringUtils
and WordUtils
to
manipulate text.
Solution
To download the latest version of Commons Lang, refer to the steps outlined in Recipe 1.1.
Discussion
This chapter focuses on a very small subset of the Commons Lang
project—StringUtils
and
WordUtils
. To use either
StringUtils
or WordUtils
in a
Java class, add the following lines to your import statements:
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils; import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils;
Recipes that use StringUtils
and
WordUtils
in this chapter will omit these import
statements in code fragments. When StringUtils
or
WordUtils
appears in an example, assume that it
has already been imported.
