看来应该由JEP来做这项工作

使用带有代码注入处理的JDK1.6 Javascript引擎尝试下面的示例代码。

import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;

public class EvalUtil {
private static ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("JavaScript");
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        System.out.println((new EvalUtil()).eval("(((5+5)/2) > 5) || 5 >3 "));
        System.out.println((new EvalUtil()).eval("(((5+5)/2) > 5) || true"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
public Object eval(String input) throws Exception{
    try {
        if(input.matches(".*[a-zA-Z;~`#$_{}\\[\\]:\\\\;\"',\\.\\?]+.*")) {
            throw new Exception("Invalid expression : " + input );
        }
        return engine.eval(input);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        throw e;
    }
 }
}

我想无论你用什么方法做这个都会涉及到很多条件命题。但是对于单个操作，比如在你的例子中，你可以将它限制为4个if语句

String math = "1+4";

if (math.split("+").length == 2) {
    //do calculation
} else if (math.split("-").length == 2) {
    //do calculation
} ...

当你想要处理像“4+5*6”这样的多个操作时，它会变得更加复杂。

如果你试图构建一个计算器，那么我建议分别传递计算的每个部分(每个数字或运算符)，而不是作为一个单一的字符串。

你可以看看Symja框架:

ExprEvaluator util = new ExprEvaluator(); 
IExpr result = util.evaluate("10-40");
System.out.println(result.toString()); // -> "-30" 

请注意，可以计算更复杂的表达式:

// D(...) gives the derivative of the function Sin(x)*Cos(x)
IAST function = D(Times(Sin(x), Cos(x)), x);
IExpr result = util.evaluate(function);
// print: Cos(x)^2-Sin(x)^2

你也可以试试BeanShell解释器:

Interpreter interpreter = new Interpreter();
interpreter.eval("result = (7+21*6)/(32-27)");
System.out.println(interpreter.get("result"));

这实际上是对@Boann给出的答案的补充。它有一个轻微的错误，导致“-2 ^ 2”给出一个错误的结果-4.0。这里的问题是求幂的点。只需将取幂运算移到parseTerm()的块中，就可以了。看看下面，这是@Boann的回答略有修改。修改意见见评论。

    return new Object() {
