Add Formatter support to generic collections [SPR-6504]

[spring-projects-issues]

Daniel IfCore opened SPR-6504 and commented

I would like to have a Collection annotated with a formatter where the formatter will be applied to the elements of the collection.

Example:

@NumberFormat(pattern = "#,###.000")
private Collection<Double> values;

Thanks for the suggestion! Formatters are fully supported on array and collection elements now, both for parsing and for rendering.
