Lukáš,

  I tried using the placeholder component in the following manner with the latest 4.3.0-SNAPSHOT

{code}
<h:panelGroup layout="block" styleClass="controls">
	<rich:calendar enableManualInput="true" value="#{managedBean.dob}" id="dob" locale="US" popup="true" datePattern="MMddyyyy" showApplyButton="false" styleClass="span11" cellWidth="24px" cellHeight="31px" converterMessage="Use MMDDYYYY format">
		<rich:placeholder value="MMDDYYYY" />
	</rich:calendar>
	<span class="help-inline"><rich:message for="dob" /></span>
</h:panelGroup>
{code}

The submit button was:
{code}
<a4j:commandButton type="submit" styleClass="controls btn btn-primary" value="Search" id="searchButton" execute="@form" render=":searchResutPanel" action="#{managedBean.search}" />
{code}

The placeholder text did display and disappear if I put the cursor in the box.  However, after clicking the command button, the <rich:message> displayed the converterMessage of "Use MMDDYYYY format".  It did not automatically clear the placeholder text or ignore it on submit.

> If the defaultLabel attribute is set for a rich:calendar object and no value is entered, a conversion error occurs.  It seems like the submission is trying to parse the defaultLabel value into a date.
