Application wide number formats?

I've got an application with a fairly large amount (and variety) of swing components. Anyone know if there's a way to set a consistent NumberFormat across all of these components (perhaps via the UIManager?), or am I going to have to extend each component into a custom one with references to a static NumberFormat object?

Thanks!

Try this
code
call=> formatNumber(yourNumber);
code
private String formatNumber(String value) {
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d+");
  Matcher m = p.matcher(value);
  NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();        
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
  while(m.find()) {
    String g = m.group();
    m.appendReplacement(sb, nf.format(Double.parseDouble(g)));            
  }
  return m.appendTail(sb).toString();
    }
