Description _ rkubacki 2010-12-10 15:52:54 UTC 
I'd appreciate if org/netbeans/beaninfo/editors/StringEditor had similar support for nullValue as ObjectEditor does. Sometimes it is usefull to have a string property where null has special meaning and should be displayed in a nice way (for example if you use BeanNode and its generated properties).

Mostly it mean to override getAsText() and modify setAsText(), attachEnv(. And document it in org/openide/explorer/doc-files/propertyViewCustomization.html. Is (fast) API review needed for this?
