How to format BigDecimal to ALWAYS have two decimal places?

This:

BigDecimal.valueOf(0.00)

becomes 0.0

I want it to be 0.00

What is the correct format pattern for that?

Use the String constructor: new BigDecimal("0.00"). Using BigDecimal.valueOf(double) completely destroys any formatting you used to input the value.
