OK, It's not 10am and I haven't had my first coffee of the morning but...
Is there any advantage to using
int val = Integer.valueOf(someNumberAsString).intValue();
as opposed to the more terse (single method invocation)
int val = Integer.parseInt(someNumberAsString);
I've tended to always use the latter.
Oh, and I am using jdk1.3.1 and jdk1.4 and not assuming autoboxing
(the new Java 5/Tiger language feature) is available to me.

In my JDK, Integer.valueOf is implemented as
return new Integer(parseInt(s, 10));
That is, valueOf is just a shorthand for creating an object from a parseInt call.

I don't think there's any good reason. Probably some people found the valueOf solution first, and stopped looking. Integer.parseInt() is all you need.
