More Java Than WebObjects

What's the best way to write code that will count the spaces between each word but not prases that are sourounded by double quotation marks eg. there are 2 phrases in the example below making up a total of 6 words (6 spaces), but how can avoid counting the spaces in the phrases?:
walls, plumbing, "painting & decorating", decorating, "concrete mixing truck", concreting, bricklayers


This is the code I have so far:

public static String wordCounter(String s, int numOfWords){
int wordCounter=0;
int numToReduce=0;
for (int index=0;index<s.length();index++) {
char c = s.charAt(index);
if (Character.isWhitespace(c)) {wordCounter++;} // Counts the spaces.
}
if (wordCounter > numOfWords) {
numToReduce=wordCounter - numOfWords;
throw new NSValidation.ValidationException
("You are only allowed to enter "+numOfWords+" words, but you have entered "+wordCounter+". <br />"+
"You'll need to delete any "+numToReduce+" of these words.");
}
return s;
}
