因为没有人使用regexp，所以我们使用regexp。这个解决方案只是为了好玩。:)(更新:实际上我刚刚发现有一个regexp的答案，无论如何，我想把这个答案留在原地，因为它更好看:)):

public class Capitol 
{
    public static String now(String str)
    {
        StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\b(\\w){1}");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
        while (m.find())
        {
            String s = m.group(1);
            m.appendReplacement(b, s.toUpperCase());
        }
        m.appendTail(b);
        return b.toString();
    }
}

使用

Capitol.now("ab cd"));
Capitol.now("winnie the Pooh"));
Capitol.now("please talk loudly!"));
Capitol.now("miles o'Brien"));

public static String toTitleCase(String word){
    return Character.toUpperCase(word.charAt(0)) + word.substring(1);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
    String phrase = "this is to be title cased";
    String[] splitPhrase = phrase.split(" ");
    String result = "";

    for(String word: splitPhrase){
        result += toTitleCase(word) + " ";
    }
    System.out.println(result.trim());
}

有很多方法可以转换第一个大写单词的第一个字母。我有个主意。这很简单:

public String capitalize(String str){

     /* The first thing we do is remove whitespace from string */
     String c = str.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
     String s = c.trim();
     String l = "";

     for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
          if(i == 0){                              /* Uppercase the first letter in strings */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i);
              i++;                                 /* To i = i + 1 because we don't need to add               
                                                    value i = 0 into string l */
          }

          l += s.charAt(i);

          if(s.charAt(i) == 32){                   /* If we meet whitespace (32 in ASCII Code is whitespace) */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i+1);    /* Uppercase the letter after whitespace */
              i++;                                 /* Yo i = i + 1 because we don't need to add
                                                   value whitespace into string l */
          }        
     }
     return l;
}

String s="hi dude i                                 want apple";
    s = s.replaceAll("\\s+"," ");
    String[] split = s.split(" ");
    s="";
    for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
        split[i]=Character.toUpperCase(split[i].charAt(0))+split[i].substring(1);
        s+=split[i]+" ";
        System.out.println(split[i]);
    }
    System.out.println(s);
