/**
 * Formatting proxy for a {@link Property}.
 * 
 * <p>
 * This class can be used to implement formatting for any type of Property
 * datasources. The idea is to connect this as proxy between UI component and
 * the original datasource.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * For example <code>
 * <pre>textfield.setPropertyDataSource(new PropertyFormatter(property) {
            public String format(Object value) {
                return ((Double) value).toString() + "000000000";
            }

            public Object parse(String formattedValue) throws Exception {
                return Double.parseDouble(formattedValue);
            }

        });</pre></code> adds formatter for Double-typed property that extends
 * standard "1.0" notation with more zeroes.
 * </p>
 * 
 * @param T
 *            type of the underlying property (a PropertyFormatter is always a
 *            Property&lt;String&gt;)
 * 
 * @deprecated Since 7.0 replaced by {@link Converter}
 * @author Vaadin Ltd.
 * @since 5.3.0
