BreakIterator.getLineBreak() will break "sun.com" right after
the period. Periods with non-white space characters after them
should not be considered to end a word or a sentence.

For supporting evidence for this position, note that
BreakIterator.getWordBreak() will return "sun.com" as one word.

Apparently this was done correctly at one time, until 4097920
was "fixed".

When I try to use BreakIterator.getLineInstance, instead of breaking it up into
lines, it behaves exactly the same as getWordInstance, i.e. breaking it up
based on words.

I need this to work because I'm trying to write a StackTrace to a log, and want
to space the lines over after the first line of the StackTrace.

Here is the source:

public class EnetLog extends Object {
     public final static void convertToFill(String message)
     {
          System.out.println("break iterator: message is: " + message );
          BreakIterator theIterator = null;
          if (message.indexOf("line") > 0 ) { theIterator =
BreakIterator.getLineInstance(); System.out.println("LINE"); }
          else if (message.indexOf("sentence") > 0 ) { theIterator =
BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance(); System.out.println("SENTENCE"); }
          else if (message.indexOf("word") > 0 ) { theIterator =
BreakIterator.getWordInstance(); System.out.println("WORD"); }
          else if (message.indexOf("character") > 0 ) { theIterator =
BreakIterator.getCharacterInstance(); System.out.println("CHARACTER"); }
          else { theIterator = BreakIterator.getLineInstance();
System.out.println("LINE"); }
          
          theIterator.setText(message);
          StringBuffer newMessage = new StringBuffer();
          
          int start = theIterator.first();
          for (int end = theIterator.next(); end != BreakIterator.DONE; start =
end, end = theIterator.next())
          {
               System.out.println("at break iterator, start: " + start + "
end: " + end + " line is: " + message.substring(start,end) );
          }
     }

     public static void main (String[] args)
     {
        convertToFill("this is a test with line\n this is another test;\n this
is the last test") ;
        convertToFill("this is a test with sentence") ;
        convertToFill("this is a test with word") ;
        convertToFill("this is a test with character") ;
     }
}
