I understand Michiels point. It is very hard to make smart editors if
the String datatype answers with undefined on the yes/no-question: do
you like newlines?
It doesn't do so now either. You get a pattern and you have to then
analyze it. The pattern can technically be anything.
The difference between an input-line and textarea is that you can enter
\n. The pattern is the only restriction which can disallow this. You
don't have to analyze the pattern. You only have to ask the pattern if
it allows a \n
if (dataType.getPattern().matcher("\n").matches()) {
// textarea
}
else {
// input-line
}
