String Formatter in GWT

Question

How do I format my string in GWT?

I made a method

  Formatter format = new Formatter();
    int matches = 0;
    Formatter formattedString = format.forma

This one is pretty fast and ignores bad curly-delimited values:

public static String format(final String format, final Object... args)
{
    if (format == null || format.isEmpty()) return "";

    // Approximate the result length: format string + 16 character args
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(format.length() + (args.length*16));

    final char openDelim = '{';
    final char closeDelim = '}';

    int cur = 0;
    int len = format.length();
    int open;
    int close;

    while (cur < len)
    {
        switch (open = format.indexOf(openDelim, cur))
        {
            case -1:
                return sb.append(format.substring(cur, len)).toString();

            default:
                sb.append(format.substring(cur, open));
                switch (close = format.indexOf(closeDelim, open))
                {
                    case -1:
                        return sb.append(format.substring(open)).toString();

                    default:
                        String nStr = format.substring(open + 1, close);
                        try
                        {
                            // Append the corresponding argument value
                            sb.append(args[Integer.parseInt(nStr)]);
                        }
                        catch (Exception e)
                        {
                            // Append the curlies and the original delimited value
                            sb.append(openDelim).append(nStr).append(closeDelim);
                        }
                        cur = close + 1;
                }
        }
    }

    return sb.toString();
}
