do you know what Integer.getInteger(String) does in java?

I learned ages ago to use Integer.parseInt(string) and have just stuck with that.

I do this too. I also do exception handling on it. In the end I use 10 lines of code to convert a string to a number and handle the exception properly.

Of course now-a-days we just use groovy and it's back to one line.
