试试Freemarker，模板库。

我的答案是:

a)尽可能使用StringBuilder

b)保持“占位符”的位置(以任何形式:整数是最好的，特殊字符如dollar宏等)，然后使用StringBuilder.insert()(参数的几个版本)。

当StringBuilder内部转换为String时，使用外部库似乎有些过度，而且我认为会显著降低性能。

你可以在字符串助手类上有这样的东西

/**
 * An interpreter for strings with named placeholders.
 *
 * For example given the string "hello %(myName)" and the map <code>
 *      <p>Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();</p>
 *      <p>map.put("myName", "world");</p>
 * </code>
 *
 * the call {@code format("hello %(myName)", map)} returns "hello world"
 *
 * It replaces every occurrence of a named placeholder with its given value
 * in the map. If there is a named place holder which is not found in the
 * map then the string will retain that placeholder. Likewise, if there is
 * an entry in the map that does not have its respective placeholder, it is
 * ignored.
 *
 * @param str
 *            string to format
 * @param values
 *            to replace
 * @return formatted string
 */
public static String format(String str, Map<String, Object> values) {

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(str);

    for (Entry<String, Object> entry : values.entrySet()) {

        int start;
        String pattern = "%(" + entry.getKey() + ")";
        String value = entry.getValue().toString();

        // Replace every occurence of %(key) with value
        while ((start = builder.indexOf(pattern)) != -1) {
            builder.replace(start, start + pattern.length(), value);
        }
    }

    return builder.toString();
}

谢谢你的帮助!使用所有的线索，我写了一个例程来做我想要的——使用字典的类似python的字符串格式化。因为我是Java新手，任何提示都是感激的。

public static String dictFormat(String format, Hashtable<String, Object> values) {
    StringBuilder convFormat = new StringBuilder(format);
    Enumeration<String> keys = values.keys();
    ArrayList valueList = new ArrayList();
    int currentPos = 1;
    while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
        String key = keys.nextElement(),
        formatKey = "%(" + key + ")",
        formatPos = "%" + Integer.toString(currentPos) + "$";
        int index = -1;
        while ((index = convFormat.indexOf(formatKey, index)) != -1) {
            convFormat.replace(index, index + formatKey.length(), formatPos);
            index += formatPos.length();
        }
        valueList.add(values.get(key));
        ++currentPos;
    }
    return String.format(convFormat.toString(), valueList.toArray());
}

jakarta commons lang的StrSubstitutor是一种轻量级的实现方法，前提是您的值已经被正确格式化。

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/org/apache/commons/lang3/text/StrSubstitutor.html

Map<String, String> values = new HashMap<String, String>();
values.put("value", x);
values.put("column", y);
StrSubstitutor sub = new StrSubstitutor(values, "%(", ")");
String result = sub.replace("There's an incorrect value '%(value)' in column # %(column)");

上述结果为:

“第2列中的“1”值不正确”

当使用Maven时，您可以将此依赖项添加到pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
    <version>3.4</version>
</dependency>

你可以使用StringTemplate库，它提供了你想要的和更多。

import org.antlr.stringtemplate.*;

final StringTemplate hello = new StringTemplate("Hello, $name$");
hello.setAttribute("name", "World");
System.out.println(hello.toString());
