0N/AProvides classes and interfaces for handling text, dates, numbers, and messages
0N/Ain a manner independent of natural languages. This means your main application
0N/Aor applet can be written to be language-independent, and it can rely upon
0N/Aseparate, dynamically-linked localized resources. This allows the flexibility
0N/Aof adding localizations for new localizations at any time.
0N/A<p>
0N/AThese classes are capable of formatting dates, numbers, and messages, parsing;
0N/Asearching and sorting strings; and iterating over characters, words, sentences,
0N/Aand line breaks. This package contains three main groups of classes and
0N/Ainterfaces:
0N/A<ul>
0N/A<li>Classes for iteration over text
0N/A<li>Classes for formatting and parsing
0N/A<li>Classes for string collation
0N/A</ul>
