Can FormComponent#reportRequiredError() be made protected?

[Christoph Leiter]

Hi,

currently FormComponent#reportRequiredError() is a private method. Could 
it be made protected to allow users to override the default implementation?

My use case is that I have a custom implementation of TextField that is 
language specific. Instead of showing the user "Field X is required" I 
want to display "Field X in language L is required". Currently I have to 
override FormComponent#validate() and inline validateRequired() there 
just to be able to provide my own implementation of 
reportRequiredError(), which is quite cumbersome and brittle.

But if there's another, better solution, which doesn't need to make the 
method protected, I'd be happy to hear it as well.


Thanks
Christoph
