I would use SimpleDateFormat. Someone correct me if there is an easier way to make a monthed calendar though, I do this in code now and I'm not so sure.

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;


public String formatMonth(int month, Locale locale) {
    DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM", locale);
    GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month-1);
    return formatter.format(calendar.getTime());
}
