Hi, Brandon.

I am not a jdk8 Reviewer (http://openjdk.java.net/census#jdk8), but I am the 
original author.

No time to check the spec now, but is precision ever applicable when the flag '%' is provided? 
 If it is, then old line 2726 should probably just be changed to "print("%')".

According to the spec, the precision isn't applicable when the '%' conversion is used. Here's the quote from the Formatter javadoc regarding precision and the '%' conversion:

   "The precision is not applicable. If the precision is specified an
   IllegalFormatPrecisionException will be thrown."

Because of this, it appears that I don't need to change line 2726 to print("%").


Rather than write a brand new test for this bug, I suggest you add a test case 
to the rather extensive set of unit tests for Formatter defined by this file:

test/java/util/Formatter/Basic.java

(Look at Basic-X.java.template, line 1703.  Regenerate Basic*.java via 
Basic.sh.)

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the Basic-* set of tests. I have removed the new test I had written and instead have updated Basic-X.java.template as you have suggested. I have created an updated webrev for review that reflects these changes.

Thanks.

Subject: Review request for #6783209

Hello core-libs-dev.  Can someone please do a code review of the following 
proposed fix for 6783209 : (fmt)Formatter doesn't support width for %%.

     Webrev : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpassani/6783209/0/webrev/
     Bug URL: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6783209

The fix is to use justify() within Formatter.java to do the proper padding when 
using the '%' conversion.  I have included a new test program to test instances 
of format specifiers that use the '%'
conversion with a width value.  The test also includes the testing of '%' 
without a width to ensure there aren't regressions.

Thanks.
