The format specifier is sufficient for doing padding:

c.f: java.util.Formatter

Here is an example:

        System.out.println("result="+String.format("|%-50s|", "hello"));
        System.out.println("result="+String.format("|%50s|", "hello"));

Output
result=|hello                                             |
result=|                                             hello|

Cheers
