Build Identifier: Eclipse 20110916-0149 EDT 0.7.0.v201111132101

When comparing a nullable date with "" an exception is thrown with the message 'null' is null or not an object. This only happens with Javascript - the Java version runs without exception

function runAssignmentFunction02(){@Test}
		myDate date?;
		try
		  LogResult.assertTrue("nullable initialization", myDate != "");
		onException(exception anyexception)
		  syslib.writestdout(exception.message);
		end
	end

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate EDate001.egl to javascript
2. Run the generated program. Testcase runAssignmentFunction02() will fail with the message "null is null or not an object"
3. This does not happen with the Java-generated version of EDate001
