Hello,
Yes, the JDK definitely has number formatting capabilities. The class that I
propose moving to text was designed specifically for data IO operations, where
large numbers of doubles need to be serialized to strings in some standard,
non-localized format. I was unable to find exactly what
I'm not a commons committer, but I think it moved to Java 8, where you
already have the same functionality available in the JDK. NumberFormat and
DecimalFormat [1] will do the same already, if I am not mistaken.

Hello,
For the geometry IO work I did recently, I ended up creating a DoubleFormats
[1] utility class that generates formatters for various floating point string
representations. It creates formatters for plain (straight decimal),
scientific, engineering, and mixed plain and scientific formats.
