| /** | |
| * Provides classes and interfaces for handling text, dates, numbers, | |
| * and messages in a manner independent of natural languages. This | |
| * means an application or library can be written to be | |
| * language-independent, and it can rely upon separate, | |
| * dynamically-linked localized resources. This allows the flexibility | |
| * of adding localizations for new localizations at any time. | |
| * | |
| * <p>These classes are capable of formatting dates, numbers, and | |
| * messages, parsing; searching and sorting strings; and iterating | |
| * over characters, words, sentences, and line breaks. This package | |
| * contains three main groups of classes and interfaces: | |
| * | |
| * <ul> | |
| * <li>Classes for iteration over text | |
| * <li>Classes for formatting and parsing | |
| * <li>Classes for string collation | |
| * </ul> | |
| * | |
| * @since 1.1 | |
