Boolean Parsing Fest

String value = ...boolean booleanValue = Boolean.valueOf(value.toLowerCase()).booleanValue();

A lot of useless stuff:

• toLowerCase is useless because the Boolean class is using equalsIgnoreCase.
• booleanValue is unnecessary because of automatic unboxing.
• Boolean.valueOf creates a useless temporary Boolean object.

boolean booleanValue = Boolean.parseBoolean(value);

And this works even if value is null.
