56 * PropertyEditorManager is used to find property editors
57 * for various types (not necessarily Beans).<P>
59 * It first checks to see if the property editor is
60 * already registered; if it is, that property editor is
61 * used. Next it takes the type's classname and appends
62 * "Editor" to it, and searches first in the class's
63 * package and then in the property editor search path.<P>
65 * Default property editors are provided for:<P>
66 * <OL>
67 * <LI>boolean, byte, short, int, long, float, and double</LI>
68 * <LI>java.lang.String</LI>
69 * <LI>java.awt.Color</LI>
70 * <LI>java.awt.Font</LI>
71 * <OL>
73 * <STRONG>Spec Suggestion:</STRONG> Perhaps an editor for
74 * Filename or something like it should be provided. As well
75 * as char.
