Is there an equivalent of ucwords in java

Question

In php, the method ucwords converts any string in a string where each words first character is in uppercase, and all other characters are lower case.

I always end up making my own implementation, and I'm wondering if a standard method exists.

Answer 1

That's called capitalization. Use Apache Commons's StringUtils to do that.

WordUtils is also worth looking at. See here
