/**
 ** PropertyEditorManager is used to find property editors
 ** for various types (not necessarily Beans).<P>
 **
 ** 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.<P>
 **
 ** Default property editors are provided for:<P>
 ** <OL>
 ** <LI>boolean, byte, short, int, long, float, and double</LI>
 ** <LI>java.lang.String</LI>
 ** <LI>java.awt.Color</LI>
 ** <LI>java.awt.Font</LI>
 ** <OL>
 **
 ** <STRONG>Spec Suggestion:</STRONG> Perhaps an editor for
 ** Filename or something like it should be provided.  As well
 ** as char.
