Bearbeiten von „JHintingTextField - JTextField mit Prompt oder Eingabehinweis“

Aus Formularen in Webseiten kennt man oft Textfelder, die bereits einen grauen Text enthalten, der dem Benutzer ein Muster oder Hinweis für die Art des einzugebenen Inhalts anzeigt.
Im Folgenden zeigt Sebastian Haufe (Ebenius), eine sehr elegante Lösung der Funktion, die auch in Swing funktioniert und auch aus der JXTextField-Komponente aus [https://github.com/tmyroadctfig/swingx SwingX] bekannt sein dürfte.
