Non-breaking space is a valid unicode character (shame it's not
considered whitespace, though).
So why can't you do something like
value = value.replaceAll( "(\u00A0|\\s)+", " " ).trim();
Here's a handy page for getting unicode values

I tried the code you suggested:
value = value.replaceAll( "(\\Q\\E|\\s)+", " " ).trim();
It did not result in the expected result, here is the result.
" abc bb " --> "a b c b b"

Hi there,

I figured out the problem but it's turned up something I don't
understand.
I'm getting the input from the request like this:
String value = context().request().stringFormValueForKey
("input_field");
When someone enters the html entity for a non-breaking space it
is not collapsed with the replaceall() I was using, which makes
[sense].
[...]
Also, how do I convert all the incoming non-breaking spaces to normal
spaces which will collapse with the replaceall() method?
String value = context().request().stringFormValueForKey
( "input_field" );
value = value.replaceAll( "(\\Q\\E|\\s)+", " " ).trim();
e.g.,
" abc bb " --> "abc bb"
with regards,
