The best solution I've found to split by words if your string contains accentuated letters is :

String[] listeMots = phrase.split("\\P{L}+");

For instance, if your String is

String phrase = "Salut mon homme, comment ça va aujourd'hui? Ce sera Noël puis Pâques bientôt.";

Then you will get the following words (enclosed within quotes and comma separated for clarity) :

"Salut", "mon", "homme", "comment", "ça", "va", "aujourd", "hui", "Ce", 
"sera", "Noël", "puis", "Pâques", "bientôt".

Hope this helps!
