How to convert ISO code to localized measure unit in java?

I'm currently trying to convert ISOCODE measure units into the fulltext labels.

For example I'll receive a string such as "LTR" and try to convert it to "Liter". It's in german so I'm also looking for a possibility to do this localized.

Is there a library or so which is already doing this? Is there an enum somewhere, containing all these information?

Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to create one myself.

Thanks a lot.

Solution

  • JSR 363 deals with units of measurement and has been implemented in UOM . You can browse the javadoc to get an idea of what's in there.

    There was a project called the JScience project, but it doesn't seem to have been updated for some time.
