when comparing strings prefer not rely on instance methods lest string on method called happens null. in .net utilize static string.compare(string, string, bool) method. java provide similar built-in "null-safe" string compare utility or have implement own?

no, jdk not contain such utility. there several external libraries that. illustration org.apache.commons.lang.stringutils provides null-safe equals(string, string) , equalsignorecase(string, string). guava has similar utilities too.
