I have an assignment where we are required to create a User class with a toString() method. The toString method should return a string with all the information about the user. We are required to create an array of 50 User objects and print the information about each user on a separate line. The problem is, I want to keep everything in a neat table with all Strings of the same length. So for instance:

User Name          Password          Full Name                     Email
___________________________________________________________________________________________
shortUser          12345             John Smith                    jSmith@shortnames.com
thisUserIsLonger   1234567890        Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen   Smitty@thisOneIsLong.com

I would like to keep everything aligned as it is in the above table. This would be easy in C++ since I could just use setw() to dynamically pad spaces between according to the size of the field. Is something like this possible in Java?
