Constructor Detail

### CharacterEditor

    public CharacterEditor(boolean allowEmpty)

  Create a new CharacterEditor instance.

  The "allowEmpty" parameter controls whether an empty String is to be allowed in parsing, i.e. be interpreted as the `null` value when `text is being converted`. If `false`, an `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown at that time.

  Parameters:
    `allowEmpty` - if empty strings are to be allowed
