isnumeric java,适用于Java的最优雅的isNumeric（）解决方案

I'm porting a small snippet of PHP code to java right now, and I was relying on the function is_numeric($x) to determine if $x is a number or not. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent function in java, and I'm not satisfied with the current solutions I've found so far.

I'm leaning toward the regular expression solution found here: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Determine_if_a_string_is_numeric

Which method should I use and why?

Note that the PHP isNumeric() function will correctly determine that hex and scientific notation are numbers, which the regex approach you link to will not.

One option, especially if you are already using Apache Commons libraries, is to use NumberUtils.isNumber(), from Commons-Lang. It will handle the same cases that the PHP function will handle.
