number formatting - Java: Converting a double to a String

Question

I have a double whose value is 10,000,000.00 (ten millions). I have to convert it to a String. When using the method toString I am getting the String "1.0E7" which is correct following the specification. Unfortunately I need the String "10,000,000.00" (or the equivalent depending on the locale).

How can achieve this?
