I was wondering if Java has some sort of class to help on output formatting. I know in C++, in iomanip, there is a method call setw. I was wondering if Java has something similar to this.

Have a look at java.util.Formatter.
String.format() provides a convenient wrapper.
For example (modified from an example on the link):
It goes beyond C’s ?printf formats. For example, it supports an optional locale, and format symbols can be associated with an argument by explicit index rather than implicit.
Edit: Fixed the link above.
