There's certain things in java that just aren't right, and rounding decimals is one of them. Another one is java dates. I mean how hard is it to include a nice utility method for simple decimal rounding or for quick and dirty date manipulation. Why do we have to jump through so many hoops??? Couldn't they have easily added a wrapper in the Math class such as: static double round(double val, scale int) How hard is that? Amen!!

Show me which method returns a rounded float? Not everything is intended as a String for human viewing. I have read about java.text.DecimalFormat. Show me which method returns a rounded float?
