String.split（调用Pattern.split）的行为在Java 7和Java 8之间改变。
Pattern.split在Java 7和Java 8的文档之间进行比较，我们观察到添加了以下子句：
如果在输入序列的开头存在一个正宽匹配，则在结果数组的开头将包含一个空的前导子字符串。开头的零宽度匹配永远不会产生这样的空前导子字符串。
与Java 7相比String.split，Java 8中还添加了相同的子句。
让我们比较一下Pattern.split Java 7和Java 8中的参考实现的代码。该代码是从grepcode检索的，用于版本7u40-b43和8-b132。
public String[] split(CharSequence input, int limit) {
int index = 0;
boolean matchLimited = limit > 0;
ArrayList<String> matchList = new ArrayList<>();
Matcher m = matcher(input);
// Add segments before each match found
while(m.find()) {
if (!matchLimited || matchList.size() < limit - 1) {
String match = input.subSequence(index, m.start()).toString();
matchList.add(match);
index = m.end();
} else if (matchList.size() == limit - 1) { // last one
String match = input.subSequence(index,
input.length()).toString();
matchList.add(match);
index = m.end();
}
}
// If no match was found, return this
if (index == 0)
return new String[] {input.toString()};
// Add remaining segment
if (!matchLimited || matchList.size() < limit)
matchList.add(input.subSequence(index, input.length()).toString());
// Construct result
int resultSize = matchList.size();
if (limit == 0)
while (resultSize > 0 && matchList.get(resultSize-1).equals(""))
resultSize--;
String[] result = new String[resultSize];
return matchList.subList(0, resultSize).toArray(result);
}
public String[] split(CharSequence input, int limit) {
int index = 0;
boolean matchLimited = limit > 0;
ArrayList<String> matchList = new ArrayList<>();
Matcher m = matcher(input);
// Add segments before each match found
while(m.find()) {
if (!matchLimited || matchList.size() < limit - 1) {
if (index == 0 && index == m.start() && m.start() == m.end()) {
// no empty leading substring included for zero-width match
// at the beginning of the input char sequence.
continue;
}
String match = input.subSequence(index, m.start()).toString();
matchList.add(match);
index = m.end();
} else if (matchList.size() == limit - 1) { // last one
String match = input.subSequence(index,
input.length()).toString();
matchList.add(match);
index = m.end();
}
}
// If no match was found, return this
if (index == 0)
return new String[] {input.toString()};
// Add remaining segment
if (!matchLimited || matchList.size() < limit)
matchList.add(input.subSequence(index, input.length()).toString());
// Construct result
int resultSize = matchList.size();
if (limit == 0)
while (resultSize > 0 && matchList.get(resultSize-1).equals(""))
resultSize--;
String[] result = new String[resultSize];
return matchList.subList(0, resultSize).toArray(result);
}
Java 8中以下代码的添加排除了输入字符串开头的零长度匹配，这解释了上面的行为。
if (index == 0 && index == m.start() && m.start() == m.end()) {
// no empty leading substring included for zero-width match
// at the beginning of the input char sequence.
continue;
}
为了使make split在各个版本中的行为保持一致并与Java 8中的行为兼容：
没有通用的解决方案可以使它split与Java 7及更低版本向后兼容，除非替换所有实例split以指向你自己的自定义实现。
