[jira] [Commented] (DELTASPIKE-355) Create Alternative to DefaultMessageInterpolator using java.text.MessageFormat

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-355?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13652748#comment-13652748 ] 

Mark Struberg commented on DELTASPIKE-355:
------------------------------------------

I agree that String#format has a few pitfalls, like a broken float formatting. String.format of 1.5 results in 1.499999999 that's pretty ugly.
We have 2 options. Either make MessageFormat the default or provide an alternative a user could activate himself.

> {{String#format()}} has a couple of disadvantages and limitations (e.g. no choice formating) and therefore MessageFormat might for some people (like me) be a preferrable alternative. Will provide patch or pull request...
