[Lang] StringUtils.split() with quoted strings

Is there a method in StringUtils or some other utility class which splits a 
string into an array, but taking care of quoted substrings? E.g., a string

This is "a quoted substring" and some "other text"

should be split to

This
is
a quoted substring
and 
some
other text

StreamTokenizer does a good job with a single quote char, but I'd like to 
have multi-char word and substring separators.

If not, I might give it a try.

Cheers,
Davor
