How to make JDatePicker text field formatted for input?

org.jdatepicker is used

In my app input field should be editable, so I added

    datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel, new DateLabelFormatter());
    datePicker.setTextEditable(true);

But now I can write any bs to it: screenshot. I need to add something like

    mf = new MaskFormatter("##.##.####"); 
    mf .setPlaceholderCharacter('.');

to limit input to mask. But how to do this? JDatePickerImpl isn't a JFormattedTextField. When I choose date from calendar it's formatted right way. My DateLabelFormatter class:

    public class DateLabelFormatter extends JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter {
        private String datePattern = "dd.MM.yyyy";
        private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern);

    @Override
     public Object stringToValue(String text) throws ParseException {
     return dateFormatter.parseObject(text);
      }
    @Override
        public String valueToString(Object value) throws ParseException {
            if (value != null) {
                Calendar cal = (Calendar) value;
                return dateFormatter.format(cal.getTime());
            }
            return "";
        }
    }

added: Tried to extract JFormattedTextField from JDatePickerImpl and changed this way:

     datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel, new DateLabelFormatter());
     datePicker.setTextEditable(true);

     MaskFormatter mf = new MaskFormatter("##.##.####");
     mf.setValidCharacters("1234567890");
     mf.setPlaceholderCharacter(' ');
     JFormattedTextField textField = datePicker.getJFormattedTextField();
     textField.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(mf));

It looks like I wanted now, but seems everything else went wrong and it's not returning date now.

also tried to change DateLabelFormatter class:

    public class DateLabelFormatter extends MaskFormatter {

private String datePattern = "dd.MM.yyyy";
private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern);
public DateLabelFormatter() { // set mask and placeholder
    try {
        setMask("##.##.####");

        setPlaceholderCharacter('0');
        setAllowsInvalid(false);
        setOverwriteMode(true);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
@Override
public Object stringToValue(String text) throws ParseException {
    return dateFormatter.parseObject(text);
}

@Override
public String valueToString(Object value) throws ParseException {
    if (value != null) {
        Calendar cal = (Calendar) value;
        return dateFormatter.format(cal.getTime());
    }

    return dateFormatter.format(Calendar.DATE);
}

}

Everything looks fine now and even partially works - when I pick date from calendar. But when I type date from keyboard I get error:
