Description Melanie Bats

When a text widget is added in the odesign, if the edition behaviour is not defined, the Sirius runtime will return the following error each time I tried to edit the text : "The editExpression in EEFTextDescription cannot be blank".
This message is an EEF message which is complete correct in EEF but not understandable for the Sirius specifier.

It should be possible to map the EEF messages in Sirius in order to provide understandable messages to the specifier.

Indeed this should be improved.

While technically still possible, since Sirius 4.1.2 (precisely, since commit cd9591620) all widgets and actions are initialized with a no-op "Change Context: var:self", so in practice there is little chance of this problem occurring anymore.
