--really newbie-- most frequent character

Hi everyone,

I struggling with java here. Can anyone tell me how to pick up the most
frequent character in a string?
I've browsed the API but I am just lost.

What I intend to do is decrypt a string without a code given? Like
there's a most frequent letter in english which is 'e' so i want to
pick the most frequent letter from the encrypted string and assign it
'e'.

A bit messy, but I hope you get the idea.

Thank you so much!
