Ah - didn't realise it was only the demo program you were unhappy about...

Anyway, the aforementioned additions were:
- nullText property - if the JDC's date is null then display any null
text, for example "Open Ended"

- selectOnFocus property - optionally select the text when the editor 
gets the focus

- dateVerifier property - an interface that JDC calls back on to allow 
client code to indicate whether a date is selectable; calendar buttons
are disabled for invalid dates and the editors skip to the next valid
date in the "direction of travel"

- use action map to (ctrl-c) popup the calendar; (ctrl-n) set to null

- provide access to the DateFormat inside so you can (eg) set its timezone

I'm in the process of pulling together other people's mods and will
github all this soon...
