Short answer(s):

/* to String g from double d */
/* 2 decimal places, locale-sensitive. */
java.text.DecimalFormat df2
 = new java.text.DecimalFormat("###,##0.00");
g = df2.format(d);
/* or exponential scientific format, locale-sensitive. */
java.text.DecimalFormat de
 = new java.text.DecimalFormat("0.0000000000E00");
g = de.format(d);
/* or best for readability, no loss of precision, locale-insensitive */
g = Double.toString(d);
/* or best for maintainability, no loss of precision, locale-insensitive */
g = String.valueOf(d);

Long answer: There's a very neat page by a guy name Roedy Green that shows how to convert just about any Java type to any other Java type. You have to have a pretty recent browser (IE6 or the latest Mozilla), but his applet will show you everything you need to know:

For the lazy...
int x;
...
String s = "" + x;

Dirk, I think
String s = String.valueOf(x);
is more for the lazy one - it's as easy to remember and much more easy to read and understand. And I am likely to have to read it much more often than to write it...
