Declares that a field or method parameter should be formatted as a number.
Supports formatting by style or custom pattern string. Can be applied to any JDK Number type such as Double and Long. 
For style-based formatting, set the style attribute to be the desired Style. For custom formatting, set the pattern attribute to be the number pattern, such as #, ###.##. 
Each attribute is mutually exclusive, so only set one attribute per annotation instance (the one most convenient one for your formatting needs). When the pattern attribute is specified, it takes precedence over the style attribute. When no annotation attributes are specified, the default format applied is style-based for either number of currency, depending on the annotated field or method parameter type.
