public class RMNumberFormat

extends java.text.DecimalFormat

implements RMFormat, com.reportmill.base.RMArchiver.Archiving

This subclass extends DecimalFormat to implement ReportMill's RMFormat interface and to support the extended features "Negative in Red" and "Null String". It also has a toPattern like method, getFormatString, for the purposes of archival. Those getFormatString/setFormatString support arbitrary decimal and grouping separators. This may be dangerous since when people use the default English versions of those, I think they change depeding on the default JVM Locale. Only dangerous if someone wants to generate English Separators from a foreign local, I guess. Also, our modified pattern format can be ambiguous if either decimal or grouping separator not included. In this case we assume any separator preceeded by a '0' is the decimal separator. This seems reasonable since a decimal separator preceeded by # could result in an empty string or a fractional number with no leading zero (like ".123" instead of "0.123") which seems somewhat rare. And also a grouping separator preceeded by 0 seems somewhat rare because it could result in a long zero string like "0,000". I suppose we should instead have a syntax explicity declaring decimal and group separators: "$ #,##0.00;ds=,;gs=.".
