Adds wordBased() overloads taking a FormatStyle, so periods and durations can be formatted with abbreviated units. Fixes #386.

AmountFormats.wordBased(Period.ofDays(1), Duration.ofMinutes(182), Locale.ENGLISH, style);

FULL    1 day, 3 hours and 2 minutes   (unchanged, and what the existing methods return)
LONG    1 day, 3 hr and 2 min
MEDIUM  1 day, 3 hr, 2 min
SHORT   1d 3h 2m

Where the words come from

All values are taken from CLDR 48.2.1:

FormatStyle Bundle CLDR unitLength CLDR listPattern
FULL wordbased (existing bundles, untouched) (unchanged)
LONG wordbased-long short standard
MEDIUM wordbased-medium short unit-short
SHORT wordbased-short narrow unit-narrow

LONG and MEDIUM share their words and differ only in whether the final separator is a word ("and") or a comma.

One correction to my earlier comment: I linked CLDR's <fields> section, but the correct source to use is <units> — unitLength[@type="short"|"narrow"] / unit[@type="duration-*"] / unitPattern. Separators come from <listPatterns>.

Bundles are provided for all 20 languages that already have word-based resources, plus English.

CLDR generator script

I have also included src/main/python/gen-wordbased-resources.py, the tool that generated the bundles — --lang fetches a language from the CLDR JSON distribution and writes all four styles, to help make adding a language or moving to a newer CLDR release easy. Happy to drop it from this PR if you would rather it not live here.

Note on Japanese

The new Japanese bundles follow CLDR's list separators (、 for LONG, a space for MEDIUM), whereas the existing wordbased_ja.properties joins units with no separator at all. Easy to change to match the existing convention if you prefer.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Format periods, durations, and combined period-duration amounts using localized FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, or SHORT styles.
    • LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT styles provide localized unit labels and list formatting across supported languages. Existing calls without a style retain FULL-style output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AmountFormats.wordBased now accepts FormatStyle values for FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT output. CLDR-generated bundles provide localized unit forms and separators for 18 locales. Tests cover formatting, plural rules, compatibility, and validation.

Changes

Styled word-based formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
FormatStyle API and bundle selection
src/main/java/org/threeten/extra/AmountFormats.java, src/changes/changes.xml
Adds four FormatStyle overloads. Existing overloads use FormatStyle.FULL. LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT select style-specific bundles.
CLDR resource generation
src/main/python/gen-wordbased-resources.py, .gitignore
Adds a CLDR JSON loader, plural-rule fitting, properties rendering, command-line options, and Python cache exclusion.
Generated locale resources
src/main/resources/org/threeten/extra/wordbased-*.properties
Adds base and locale-specific LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT resources for duration units, separators, and plural predicates.
Styled formatting validation
src/test/java/org/threeten/extra/TestAmountFormats.java
Adds coverage for 18 locales, all styles, plural handling, FULL compatibility, non-empty output, and null styles.

No actionable merge-blocking issue remains from the reviewed changes; the Portuguese MEDIUM output matches its expected result.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a6339

The new formatting options appear confined to in-process, packaged resources. No new sensitive access path was identified, though review coverage of the added resources is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For the inspected entrypoints, caller-controlled style selects a fixed resource family rather than an arbitrary bundle name; the observed outcome is a formatted string.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new entrypoints null-check their inputs before selecting a resource bundle; locale was already an input to the existing overloads.

I would prefer the gen-wordbased-resources.py file and .gitignore change are dropped, as I want this to be a Java repo. People can manually add files if another language is needed.

Otherwise, I think I'm happy.

Excellent! I removed the Python, as requested.
