- * This class is the abstract superclass of classes that format and parse

- * <code>String</code> produced by a concrete subclass of <code>Format</code>
- * will be parseable by that same subclass.
- * <p>
- * In addition to implementing the abstract methods in this class, subclasses
- * should provide static factory methods of the form
- * <code>getInstance()</code> and <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> if the
- * subclass loads different formatting/parsing schemes based on locale.
- * These subclasses should also implement a static method called
- * <code>getAvailableLocales()</code> which returns an array of
- * available locales in the current runtime environment.
