Using a DateFormatter with a JFormattedTextField

I am using a JFormattedTextField in combination with a DateFormatter. I've seen examples of this kind of text field using MaskFormatter in which a user can type in values and overwrite existing ones (e.g. the placeholder characters) without having to erase them manually. Is it possible to do the same thing with a DateFormatter? For example, I want to use 00:00:00 as the placeholder string, and the time should be in the format HH:mm:ss.

JSpinner is better and nicer JComponent for Date instance, than JFormattedTextField, I think that more confortable and intuitive
