If you add a normal integer to a table and don't specify any validation, the XML file for the form will still contain the line

validate="numeric" for that integer field.

In many cases, this is not a problem. However, if, for example, the form for creating a new record does not contain the integer field but another form for the table does, Joomla will run the validation rules when you create a new record and the integer field will generate an error (as it is NULL as it was not on the form)

J-Cook allows you to manually specify that an entry needs to be numeric. Therefore I think it would make more sense to not have any valuation unless you specify it manually. In particular as you see a message in J-Cook saying "Validation is not enabled" unless you specify something.

FIXED

I don’t know why do you want to avoid the validator, but I think it is ok. Once you have instanced the field, just uncheck the validator, and then Cook will not integrate as fallback.
Same for time, or date time. You can now remove them from the builder without any fallback.

I just see a small bug is when you instance a integer field int the table, the validator is not set in the properties. Once you refresh the page, it will appear. At the moment I will not fix that one because it is little bit tricky at the moment. (I know why, but it is long structural rewrite, so I will fix it later. Just a UI issue).
Coding is now a piece of cake

Real time saver and great Component Builder tool ! I have been developing with J-Cook Pro Component Builder for several months now and can say with all honesty that this product/service is second to none. The product is feature rich and is being improved and added to all the time. Do yourself a favor if you need to build a Joomla! Component then you can do no wrong in trying the product. You will save on time and effort while being able to deliver your project on time. J-Cook pro does the hard work for you you then have the freedom to fully customise the end result for your own needs. 

One word: Awesome.
