HEllo, currently we have something like: The value "{1}" is not a valid currency value.
or The value "{1}" is not a valid percentage value. as the detail message for the FacesMessage. The DateTimeConverter is much "nicer" to the user. It is providing an example, using the "right" format/pattern. I'd like to add something like that to the NumberConverter as well.
