> Please find attached some improvements to FileChooserComboBox and DefaultPropertyEditorRegistry that makes using the FileChooserComboBox easier.
> 1. DefaultPropertyEditor installs a FileEditor by default for editing java.io.File.
>    This was necessary because I found that I was getting problems using FileChooserComboBox with a ValidatingFormModel in a SwingFormModel. The problem was that because no property editor was installed by default for File objects, the SwingFormModel was trying to cast the File values returned into strings for setting in a text field.
>    One could configure a propertyEditorRegistry bean in the application context to handle this, but I found that this solution would be non-obvious for a casual user of this control object. So alternatively I have modifed DefaultPropertyEditorRegistry to install a default editor for File types.
> 2. FileChooserComboBox exposes its file chooser variable for customisation.
>     This helps eg. if you want to select only directories, or want to set the file filters to use, etc.
> 3. Minor bug fixed in getSelectedFile() method. See the notes in the text.
