Byte.decode ("10") and Byte.valueOf ("10") - what's the difference?

Question

The Java 6 API primitive wrappers have pairs of static decode methods (String s) and an Off value (String s) . Both of them return a new object of the wrapper class class, and none of them are annotated as deprecated. Does anyone know the difference between the two? For example:

Byte b1 = Byte.decode("10");

and

Byte b2 = Byte.valueOf("10");
