---------------------------------------------------

Why not create your own FloatRange/DoubleRange annotation and validator class for your project?

Otherwise the validator project will get packed with custom validators.

> I am trying to use the Hibernate Validator to annotate a Float property (a price) but @Range, @Min, and @Max don't seem to support it. When I try adding an 'f' to the end of the number (9999.99f) or cast it ( (float)9999.99 ) I get an type mismatch error saying 'cannot convert a float to an int' (for @Min, @Max) or '... a long' (for @Range). I also tried using a Double instead of a Float and I get the same errors. The Annotations 3.1b8 reference stats that @Min, @Max, and @Range can be applied on a "property (numeric or string representation of a numeric)."
