  )
);

Yellow Fox Jumped Over Brown Foot

Answer 2

You can use the capitalize method from the ACL class of WordUtils.

Answer 3

This may not be the most effective, but it may give you a starting point:

public String capitalize(String original) {
        String[] parts = original.split(" ");

        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

        for (String part : parts) {
            String firstChar = part.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase();
            result.append(firstChar + part.substring(1));
            result.append(" ");
        }

        String capitalized = result.toString();

        return capitalized.substring(0, capitalized.length()-1);
}
