Is there any method to generate MD5 hash of a string in Java? I've tried something like this: message.hashlib().md5().decode()

This will hash the plain string "plaintext" using MD5.

    String plaintext = "This is an example text";
    MessageDigest m = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
    m.reset();
    m.update(plaintext.getBytes());
    byte[] digest = m.digest();
    BigInteger bigInt = new BigInteger(1,digest);
    String hashtext = bigInt.toString(16);
    System.out.println(hashtext);
