Creating a JFormattedTextField

There are six constructors for the JFormattedTextField class:

public JFormattedTextField()
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField();

public JFormattedTextField(Format format)
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy--MMMM--dd");
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField(format);

public JFormattedTextField(JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter formatter)
DateFormat displayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy--MMMM--dd");
DateFormatter displayFormatter = new DateFormatter(displayFormat);
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField(displayFormatter);

public JFormattedTextField(JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatterFactory factory)
DateFormat displayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy--MMMM--dd");
DateFormatter displayFormatter = new DateFormatter(displayFormat);
DateFormat editFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
DateFormatter editFormatter = new DateFormatter(editFormat);
DefaultFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory( displayFormatter, displayFormatter, editFormatter);
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField(factory);
public JFormattedTextField(JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatterFactory factory,  Object currentValue)

DateFormat displayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy--MMMM--dd");
DateFormatter displayFormatter = new DateFormatter(displayFormat);
DateFormat editFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
DateFormatter editFormatter = new DateFormatter(editFormat);
DefaultFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(displayFormatter, displayFormatter, editFormatter);
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField(factory, new Date());

public JFormattedTextField(Object value)
JFormattedTextField formattedField = new JFormattedTextField(new Date());
