I asked a question about JFormattedTextField, and Rogan Dawes wrote:

JFormattedTextField defines what a commit is, and allows the user
to specify a few choices about how and when to commit.  I want to
be notified of exactly when JFormattedTextField does a commit,
and at no other times.

I specifically do NOT want to be notified of all keypresses, since
most of them do not trigger a commit.  I mentioned before that
I tried using a DocumentListener and didn't get what I want.

It seems bizarre that whoever developed JFormattedTextField at
Sun went to all the trouble to implement and document various
commit behaviors, but not provide an explicit way to listen
for a commit.
