[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

According to the developer response to
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=141720, once an object
is dropped onto the form, if you press Enter, you are put into an
inline editor.

Most modern tools, when the object is selected on the form will react
properly based on any key hit on the keyboard.

Since it is common that if a person drops an object on the form and
it still has focus, when the user presses any alpha-numeric key the
system should automatically enter inline-edit mode.

Additionally, (for Windows and Linux at least), the F2 key is
commonly considered the "edit name" or "edit" key.  This should be
added to "Enter" as a method to get into the inline-edit mode.
