[jira] [Commented] (TEXT-95) Convenience formatting method in ExtendedMethodFormat

["Bruno P. Kinoshita (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-95?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16061902#comment-16061902 ] 

Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on TEXT-95:
----------------------------------------

It sounds interesting! Reduces verbosity, makes code simpler. I haven't used much the ExtendedMessageFormat, so will spend some time reading the code, javadocs, and playing with it over the next days before committing to a aye or nay :-)

Thanks for reporting.

> It would be nice to have a simple formatting method in ExtendedMethodFormat:
> {code}
> String format(Object... arguments)
> {code}
> Intended use:
> {code}
> ExtendedMessageFormat messageFormat = new ExtendedMessageFormat("{0}, {1}", Locale.ROOT);
> String output = messageFormat.format("Hello", "World");
> {code}
> The current formatting method of (Extended)MethodFormat is quite inconvenient for simple use cases:
> {code}
> ExtendedMessageFormat messageFormat = new ExtendedMessageFormat("{0}, {1}", Locale.ROOT);
> Object[] arguments = { "Hello", "World" };
> StringBuffer outputBuffer = messageFormat.format(arguments, new StringBuffer(), null);
> String output = outputBuffer.toString();
> {code}
