I think it's just a couple of methods that need to be merged from
Classpath:

  /** @since 1.5 */
  public static String format(Locale locale, String format, Object... args)
  {
    Formatter f = new Formatter(locale);
    return f.format(format, args).toString();
  }

  /** @since 1.5 */
  public static String format(String format, Object... args)
  {
    return format(Locale.getDefault(), format, args);
  }

We really need to merge the whole class.

Andrew.
