is that any good ideas to fixed the aligment of the output instead of using \t, due to some of the output words have more or less. :)

Jump to PostYou can use the felxible printf method of PrintStream. You can use System.out to access it.
And you can specify exactly the number of columns each word must occupy using the C style format specifiers.

In that case, you can use this method:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#format(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...)
You can send the input of printf method to this and it will return a formatted string which you can in turn return to your caller.
