Just in case you hadn't found it yet, Sun keeps the documentation for all classes in the standard API on-line at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/index.html.
When you construct your DecimalFormat object, the pattern you probably want to use is 0.00 - like this:
new DecimalFormat("0.00")
Good Luck.
