Sorry for jumping in: I initially misread Hannes' observation in the
same way, but I think he meant that "   ".strip() will return "", while
removeTrailingWhitespace("    ") will return "    ", which is a more
subtle difference in behavior.

Hannes,

Thanks for the review.

My reading of the code for String.strip.... is that the original string is returned if there is no whitespace to be removed ... in other words, the new methods should have the same behavior as the removed methods.

Looks good.

I noticed that the removed methods would return the original string if they didn’t encounter a non-whitespace character, but I guess that wasn’t actually part of their intended behaviour.

Updated webrev based on Ivan's suggestion to use one of stripLeading(), stripTrailing(), or strip() instead of the old methods, which are now removed

Ivan,

Great suggestion, and sets up the possibility to  use strip() when both leading and trailing whitespace should be removed.

The only slight change in semantics would be that these methods work in terms of code-points, not characters, and javadoc has not (yet?) been adapted to use code-points throughout.

Hello!

Can String.stripLeading()/stripTrailing() methods be used instead, or is there a reason to avoid them?

With kind regards,

Ivan

Please review a tiny change to eliminate a string copy into a temporary character buffer when removing leading or trailing whitespace from a string.

The affected methods are called within the main code to translate doc comments to HTML.  This is noreg-cleanup/no-reg-trivial, so no new additional tests.

Webrev below, but the patch is also included here:
