The problem with FormValidator is that the individual components
(checkbox + textfields) are still validated with validators
(FormComponent.validateValidators()). My client wants the form to work
so that if the checkbox is not checked, the textfields can contain
invalid data.

One way to implement this could be by changing the execution order of
validators so that FormValidators are executed before component
validators:

class MyForm extends Form {
        protected void validate()
        {
                validateRequired();
                validateConversion();
                validateFormValidators();
                validateValidators();
        }
}

And then somehow disable the component at special FormValidator if
checkbox is not checked. Maybe this can be done by calling
setEnabled(false) ?
