Strip Leading and Trailing Spaces From Java String

Is there a convenience method to strip any leading or trailing spaces from a Java String?

Something like:

String myString = "  keep this  ";
String stripppedString = myString.strip();
System.out.println("no spaces:" + strippedString);

Result:

no spaces:keep this

myString.replace(" ","") would replace the space between keep and this.
