/**
 * <code>MaskFormatter</code> is used to format and edit strings. The behavior
 * of a <code>MaskFormatter</code> is controlled by way of a String mask
 * that specifies the valid characters that can be contained at a particular
 * location in the <code>Document</code> model. The following characters can
 * be specified:
 *
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption>Valid characters and their descriptions</caption>
 * <thead>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="col">Character
 *     <th scope="col">Description
 * </thead>
 * <tbody>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">#
 *     <td>Any valid number, uses {@code Character.isDigit}.
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">'
 *     <td>Escape character, used to escape any of the special formatting
 *     characters.
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">U
 *     <td>Any character ({@code Character.isLetter}). All lowercase letters are
 *     mapped to upper case.
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">L
 *     <td>Any character ({@code Character.isLetter}). All upper case letters
 *     are mapped to lower case.
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">A
 *     <td>Any character or number ({@code Character.isLetter} or
 *     {@code Character.isDigit}).
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">?
 *     <td>Any character ({@code Character.isLetter}).
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">*
 *     <td>Anything.
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row">H
 *     <td>Any hex character (0-9, a-f or A-F).
 * </tbody>
 * </table>
 *
 * <p>
 * Typically characters correspond to one char, but in certain languages this
 * is not the case. The mask is on a per character basis, and will thus
 * adjust to fit as many chars as are needed.
 * <p>
 * You can further restrict the characters that can be input by the
 * <code>setInvalidCharacters</code> and <code>setValidCharacters</code>
 * methods. <code>setInvalidCharacters</code> allows you to specify
 * which characters are not legal. <code>setValidCharacters</code> allows
 * you to specify which characters are valid. For example, the following
 * code block is equivalent to a mask of '0xHHH' with no invalid/valid
 * characters:
 * <pre>
 * MaskFormatter formatter = new MaskFormatter("0x***");
 * formatter.setValidCharacters("0123456789abcdefABCDEF");
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * When initially formatting a value if the length of the string is
 * less than the length of the mask, two things can happen. Either
 * the placeholder string will be used, or the placeholder character will
 * be used. Precedence is given to the placeholder string. For example:
 * <pre>
 *   MaskFormatter formatter = new MaskFormatter("###-####");
 *   formatter.setPlaceholderCharacter('_');
 *   System.out.println(formatter.valueToString("123"));
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Would result in the string '123-____'. If
 * <code>setPlaceholder("555-1212")</code> was invoked '123-1212' would
 * result. The placeholder String is only used on the initial format,
 * on subsequent formats only the placeholder character will be used.
 * <p>
 * If a <code>MaskFormatter</code> is configured to only allow valid characters
 * (<code>setAllowsInvalid(false)</code>) literal characters will be skipped as
 * necessary when editing. Consider a <code>MaskFormatter</code> with
 * the mask "###-####" and current value "555-1212". Using the right
 * arrow key to navigate through the field will result in (| indicates the
 * position of the caret):
 * <pre>
 *   |555-1212
 *   5|55-1212
 *   55|5-1212
 *   555-|1212
 *   555-1|212
 * </pre>
 * The '-' is a literal (non-editable) character, and is skipped.
 * <p>
 * Similar behavior will result when editing. Consider inserting the string
 * '123-45' and '12345' into the <code>MaskFormatter</code> in the
 * previous example. Both inserts will result in the same String,
 * '123-45__'. When <code>MaskFormatter</code>
 * is processing the insert at character position 3 (the '-'), two things can
 * happen:
 * <ol>
 *   <li>If the inserted character is '-', it is accepted.
 *   <li>If the inserted character matches the mask for the next non-literal
 *       character, it is accepted at the new location.
 *   <li>Anything else results in an invalid edit
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * By default <code>MaskFormatter</code> will not allow invalid edits, you can
 * change this with the <code>setAllowsInvalid</code> method, and will
 * commit edits on valid edits (use the <code>setCommitsOnValidEdit</code> to
 * change this).
 * <p>
 * By default, <code>MaskFormatter</code> is in overwrite mode. That is as
 * characters are typed a new character is not inserted, rather the character
 * at the current location is replaced with the newly typed character. You
 * can change this behavior by way of the method <code>setOverwriteMode</code>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
