How to format MonetaryAmount with currency symbol?

Question

Edit: This question is intended to be for formatting within the context of JSR-354. An alternative would be to use java.util.CurrencyFormat. But I want to know how to do it using MonetaryAmountFormat.

How do you format a MonetaryAmount using the currency symbol within the context of JSR-354 MonetaryAmountFormat?

I tried to use MonetaryAmountFormat as demonstrated below from two different examples I found on the web. Neither approach worked properly so I pushed my example test cases to github in case you would like to clone and see the full details but here is the test:

pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.javamoney</groupId>
  <artifactId>moneta</artifactId>
  <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
  <version>4.12</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 1

I found the answer just after asking the question. I updated the github project to contain the solution.

  /**
   * See http://stackoverflow.com/q/40244526/328275
   */
  @Test
  public void test3() {
    final MonetaryAmountFormat format = MonetaryFormats.getAmountFormat(
      AmountFormatQueryBuilder.of(Locale.US)
        .set(CurrencyStyle.SYMBOL)
        .build()
    );
    final String actual = format.format(AMOUNT);
    assertEquals(EXPECTED, actual);
  }
