  32 Provides classes and interfaces for handling text, dates, numbers, and messages
  33 in a manner independent of natural languages.  This means your main application
  34 or applet can be written to be language-independent, and it can rely upon
  35 separate, dynamically-linked localized resources. This allows the flexibility
  36 of adding localizations for new localizations at any time.
  37 <p>
  38 These classes are capable of formatting dates, numbers, and messages, parsing;
  39 searching and sorting strings; and iterating over characters, words, sentences,
  40 and line breaks.  This package contains three main groups of classes and
  41 interfaces:
  42 <ul>
  43 <li>Classes for iteration over text
  44 <li>Classes for formatting and parsing
  45 <li>Classes for string collation
  46 </ul>
