Uh-huh. I saw something in your code further
down that made me wonder if you had correctly
interpreted what a 'white space character' is.. *

"leading zero" is the way that octal is represented. I was assuming
that it was a O (capital letter O) rather than a 0 zero.

Damn, I wish I was using a font that showed
a difference, those O/0 look identical on this
box/config.

<SSCCE>
public class WillThisWork {
public static void main(String [] args) {
String s = "023";

* the '0' will not be considered a 'white space char.',
the things that would be considered white space might
be summed up as..

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

class ShowWhiteSpace {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// sure I've forgotten some..
String untrimmed = "\t 01234Hi! \n\n ";
String trimmed = untrimmed.trim();
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(
"untrimmed: \t'" + untrimmed + "'\n" +
"trimmed: \t'" + trimmed + "'"
);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ta);
}
}
</sscce>
....
I know that this is probably a silly question, but if I import
java.lang.Integer.*

Assuming you meant..
import java.lang.Integer.*;
...that is a compilable, but invalid, statement.

The ones that would have the right effect are either ..
import java.lang.Integer;
...or..
import java.lang.*;

The '*' character can import into the namespace,
all classes within a particular package, as done
in the second statement.

The first statement is preferable* though, as
it is an explicit import for the one required
class, and is better documented as a result.

Importing the class (using either form) will
automatically make *all* it's methods available.

* I usually use package imports in SSCCE's,
for the sake of brevity, but it should not
generally be done in 'real' or production
code.
