in Java, String.format patterns are different like %s or %1$d etc.
if you are looking for dotnet similarity it is Messageformat.format

Accepted answer is correct. I would just like to add the Java equivalent of argument index like OP has used in his post. Please, note that I have reversed the argument positions but they would still print in order.

String fmtStr = String.format("%2$s - (%1$s)", myparam2, myparam1);

Format-string argument indices start from 1 in Java.

Err... String.format seems like a pretty good candidate. Who would have thought? :-)

There is also MessageFormat.format.
