Java: Get raw text in JFormattedTextField

You could define a custom class that derives from JFormattedTextField and use KeyListener to get the raw text that the user is typing:

	public class MyFormattedTextField extends JFormattedTextField {
	private String rawText;
	private class MyKeyListener implements KeyListener {
	...
	@Override
	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
	rawText = getText();
	}
	}
	public MyFormattedTextField() {
	addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());
	}
	public String getRawText() {
	return rawText;
	}
	}
