Here is small code to illustrate what I am seeing

float floater = 59.999f;

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("00.0");

System.out.println(df.format(floater));

This prints:

60.0

I would like it to print 

59.9

What do I need to do?

    Add this line before using the DecimalFormat:

    df.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN);

    Take a look at the other rounding modes and see which one is best for you.

    Note : this method works only in JDK 1.6 or above
