Thanks Antonio

That worked a treat (actually the method I need was the
discardWhitespace method, which isn't public). But that gave me enough
of a hint to implement my own method, and now it all works.

Try Commons Codec:
http://commons.apache.org/codec/api-release/org/apache/commons/codec/bin
ary/Base64.html#decodeBase64(byte[])
This way you obtain a series of octets (bytes). To convert it into a
string, you need to know the character set used for the character
encoding. You can use, for example, a ByteArrayInputStream and, after
that, an InputStreamReader with the correct encoding.
