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> 47 <!-- 48 <h2>Package Specification</h2> 49 50 ##### FILL IN ANY SPECS NEEDED BY JAVA COMPATIBILITY KIT ##### 51 <ul> 52 <li><a href="">##### REFER TO ANY FRAMEMAKER SPECIFICATION HERE #####</a> 53 </ul> 54 55 <h2>Related Documentation</h2> 56 57 For overviews, tutorials, examples, guides, and tool documentation, please see: 58 <ul> 59 <li><a href="">##### REFER TO NON-SPEC DOCUMENTATION HERE #####</a> 60 </ul> 61 --> 62 63 @since JDK1.1 64 </body> 65 </html>
