Class FormattableUtils


  • @Deprecated
    public class FormattableUtils
    extends Object
    Deprecated.
    as of 3.6, use commons-text FormattableUtils instead

    Provides utilities for working with the Formattable interface.

    The Formattable interface provides basic control over formatting when using a Formatter. It is primarily concerned with numeric precision and padding, and is not designed to allow generalised alternate formats.

    Since:
    3.0
    • Constructor Detail

      • FormattableUtils

        public FormattableUtils()
        Deprecated.

        FormattableUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the methods of the class should be invoked statically.

        This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.
