String Formatter in GWT

Question

How do I format my string in GWT?

I made a method

  Formatter format = new Formatter();
    int matches = 0;
    Formatter formattedString = format.forma

A very simple replacement for String.format() in GWT 2.1+:

import com.google.gwt.regexp.shared.RegExp;
import com.google.gwt.regexp.shared.SplitResult;

public static String format(final String format, final Object... args) {
  final RegExp regex = RegExp.compile("%[a-z]");
  final SplitResult split = regex.split(format);
  final StringBuffer msg = new StringBuffer();
  for (int pos = 0; pos < split.length() - 1; ++pos) {
    msg.append(split.get(pos));
    msg.append(args[pos].toString());
  }
  msg.append(split.get(split.length() - 1));
  return msg.toString();
}
