This is a workaround. Is there a way to define an editor which can

What we could to is to remove the "Spinner" widget and instead add a
simple text field and add a validator that validates the value using
new BigInteger(text);
and in case of a NumberFormatException we reject the value.
As said Pierre-Arnaud, as soon as the user is aware that there is a
workaround, no need to replace a pretty cool widget by a less optimal one.
However as discussed in DIRSTUDIO-234 we should consider if all those
smart features help or just handicap the users...
Right now, I think they help the user, aren't they ? And the fact that
you still can use the text editor anyway is a good enough workaround,
unless we really want to spend a week writing a widget handling
BigInteger :)
Thanks Stefan !
