Instances of AbstractFormatterFactory are used by
JFormattedTextField to obtain instances of
AbstractFormatter which in turn are used to format values.
AbstractFormatterFactory can return different
AbstractFormatters based on the state of the
JFormattedTextField, perhaps returning different
AbstractFormatters when the
JFormattedTextField has focus vs when it
doesn't have focus.
