Formatting large double values with java.text.FormatDecimal changes the value
that should be formatted. (see Screenshot).
Formatting is done by

  void input_focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
    DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
    DecimalFormat decForm = new DecimalFormat("###,###,###.00", symbols);
    output.setText(decForm.format( new Float(input.getText()).floatValue()));
  }

if you enter:
'666333999000' the result is
666,334,003,200.00
