How to parse numbers more strict than what NumberFormat does in Java?

Question

I\'m validating user input from a form.

I parse the input with NumberFormat, but it is evil and allow almost anything. Is there any way to parse number more strict?

Answer 1

I gave up on writing my own validation class, and went with NEBULA WIDGETS FormattedText

It was written over the SWT widget API, but you can easily adapt the NumberFormatter class
