java.beans
Class PropertyEditorManager
PropertyEditorManager is used to find property editors
for various types (not necessarily Beans).
It first checks to see if the property editor is
already registered; if it is, that property editor is
used. Next it takes the type's classname and appends
"Editor" to it, and searches first in the class's
package and then in the property editor search path.
Default property editors are provided for:
- boolean, byte, short, int, long, float, and double
- java.lang.String
- java.awt.Color
- java.awt.Font
Spec Suggestion: Perhaps an editor for
Filename or something like it should be provided. As well
as char.
