Annotation Type Formatter

@Target(value=PARAMETER)
@Retention(value=CLASS)
@Documented
public @interface Formatter

Indicate that the given parameter should be wrapped with a formatting object of the given class. The class must have a one-argument constructor which unambiguously accepts a value of this parameter's type. The resultant object will be passed in as a parameter to the underlying format type; thus its toString() method will be invoked (or, if the format style is PRINTF, the object may implement Formattable to get extra functionality).
