      Description

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The API docs use the following code as example:
        ----------
        JFormattedTextField tf = new JFormattedTextField();
        tf.setValue(new Number(100));
        ----------
        This is a bad example because it creates an instance of Number which is an abstract class. This code will never compile.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        I expected working example code, e.g.
        ----------
        JFormattedTextField tf = new JFormattedTextField();
        tf.setValue(new Integer(100));
        ----------

        ACTUAL -
        JFormattedTextField tf = new JFormattedTextField();
        tf.setValue(new Number(100));
