For primitive data types I can use NumberFormat to format the number for the given local However on a BigInteger the NumberFormater gives up part way through. ex: number: 1234567891234567891234567891234567891234567891234567891234567891234567891234 56789123456789123456789123456799 is formated as: 123,456,789,123,456,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Is there another formater that works correctly with big numbers? I really don't want to write a formater for each locale :(
