Thanks Thomas. By "shadow" I was actually quoting you when you said: 

you cannot "augment" it, but you can "shadow" it by providing your own 
super-source version of java.lang.String


In my previous reply, I was saying that I'm happy with this solution for my 
GWT app (whatever you call this method "shadow" or something else).

But my concern is now with J2CL (as I plan to move my GWT app to J2CL in 
the future).
I would like to know if this solution will also work with J2CL.
i.e. will I be able to provide my own implementation of String.format() if 
not emulated by J2CL?

The shadow super-source should work in my case, thank you.

 If later I want to move from GWT to J2CL, will I have a similar feature 
(ex: providing my own implementation of String.format() if not emulated) ?


IIRC, no: each source file must only appear once, so you cannot use 
shadowing.
