String formatting?

[Alex Rice]

What's the preferred way of doing printf() style string formatting in
GWT?
I tried String.format() and it compiled but I got runtime errors .

Thanks, Alex

String.format is not a GWT emulated method, check for those that are supported here:

(for GWT 1.5)

In GWT format using a StringBuffer / StringBuilder and the i18n package (for
number and date formatting). Or you can use a Messages bundle (which is what we
use) to specify the ordering of your String.

Hope that helps a bit ;)
