StringUtils code readability (method acceleration)
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-427
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-427
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: All systems, all plattforms
            Reporter: Torsten
            Priority: Trivial


First of all i hope you will let me stay alive :) because this is not a 
critical error or even a bug. My proposal will not help to make the method run 
twice as fast, but I think this would make the code easier to read, test and to 
maintain. I tested both methods with Strings of length 1 to 10000 and with 
growing size of the Strings, the second method got actual faster and it *never* 
was slower.

This method is from the framework:
{code:title=StringUtils.java|borderStyle=solid}
    public static boolean isBlank(String str) {
        int strLen;
        if (str == null || (strLen = str.length()) == 0) {
            return true;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < strLen; i++) {
            if ((Character.isWhitespace(str.charAt(i)) == false)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
{code}

I think this method would have the same result:
{code:borderStyle=solid}
    public static final boolean isBlank(String str) {
        return str == null || str.trim().length() == 0;
    }
{code}
