I have a NSTextField subclass that must currently also always have a 
NSTextFieldCell subclass internally (which in turn is needed only to provide a 
custom Field Editor when needed).

In 10.10, cells are deprecated, though the cell is still there. I previously 
returned the custom class from +cellClass, but this is now deprecated and no 
longer called. The documentation states that +setCellClass: can be called from 
-awakeFromNib to set a custom cell class, but that method is also deprecated 
and it doesn’t do what the documentation says anyway (if it ever did - first 
time I’ve tried this).

What can I do to make sure that the text fields get the necessary custom cell?

I *can* set the cell class in IB, and that’s fine as such, but I’d rather do it 
in code, because I have hundreds of these fields and it would be a lot simpler 
to simply set the cell class once in code instead of hundreds of times in IB.

I understand that cells are going away, but there currently doesn’t seem to be 
a replacement for returning a custom field editor for a given text field that 
doesn’t involve its cell. If there is, and I’ve missed it, that would be a 
better solution, so maybe someone could point me at what I should be doing.
