Some years ago a local newspaper reported that Jeffrey (Middle name 
different from mine) Higgins had been arrested the previous evening in 
connection with the armed robbery of a local convenience store. The 
article provided some coworkers considerable fun.

It seems to me that TextFormat should be able to handle that, not sure, 
but I seem to remember something about it. I'm not very familiar with 
Groovy at all.

JScience 4.3.1 is entirely usable but it seems version 5 still has a 
ways to go. I've begun investigating the Eclipse UOMo. I'll be 
interested to see how JSR 354 pans out. It's kinda shame that all of 
these APIs don't have a common core available for instance arithmetic, 
text formatting, XML serialization, etc.
