When I display the "String value" column in the debugger, any null fields are shown as "<Lookup null value>". I am not quite sure what that is supposed to mean; is there something wrong with just showing "null"?
Seems to be true in the property sheet generally. E.g. "Local repository path" for any repo other than "Local" under "Maven Repositories".
Higher priority since it could apply to all sorts of things.
The text is horrible, I agree. But where is it comming from? o.n.core? And why it started to appear recently.
StringEditor. I suppose the two occurrences of NbBundle.getMessage(StringEditor.class, "CTL_NullValue") should be replaced with simply "null" to restore 6.9's behavior. (CTL_NullValue is actually intended for use in ObjectEditor.)
I think sharing the name of null value between StringEditor and ObjectEditor is not bad. Especially if we can come up with neutral name of such value. Let's try: ergonomics#670c64215bd1
Beware that this is still a UI change relative to 6.9 ("null" -> "<null value>") which will appear in the debugger and many other places (though not the GUI builder it seems).
