Printf for Java |
Lava is a class library for Java. It's packages evolved from one programmer's need for features in Java that were not available in the standard Java library. Although Lava includes several GUI-related classes, its main emphasis is in batch-oriented data processing and reporting applications. Thus, there is a heavy emphasis on stream parsing, data manipulation, and text formatting.
Most programmers use Lava for its advanced port of C's printf function, Printf for Java. To learn more about this special package, read on.
Lava is distributed as fully-functional, non-expiring, nag-free shareware. If you find it useful you are encouraged to register. To download the latest version of Lava or any Lava product, visit the Lava web site at

In order to give developers more of what they need and less of what they don't need, Lava has been divided into several partial distributions, each of which encapsulates a subset of Lava's popular features. Both the comprehensive Lava package and the individual "Lava Rocks" are available for purchase.
