Unreleased

• Changed .properties file loading order: Now all core .properties files are loaded before loading addon .properties files. This makes it easier to overwrite core values in addons. Also, addon loading order can be specified.
• TableHeader: Paint column borders if renderer has changed, but delegates to the system default renderer (e.g. done in NetBeans).
• Label and ToolTip: Fixed font sizes for HTML headings.
