Description Jan Stola 2013-04-30 14:16:02 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bean with a property of type char.
2. Add an instance of the bean into a form. 
3. Select the instance of the bean in Navigator.
4. Find the property of type char in Properties view.
   => it is not possible to edit the value of the property.
   (It is possible to specify the value from an existing component or to specify
    a custom code but it is not possible to edit the value directly).
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2013-04-30 14:24:44 UTC 
Note that the property editor for char properties was present in NetBeans 7.2 but disappeared in NetBeans 7.3.
Comment 2 Jan Stola 2013-04-30 14:38:34 UTC 
The root of the problem seems to be in

http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/b1efa878877e

It removes an explicit assignment of CharEditor to char

- PropertyEditorManager.registerEditor (java.lang.Character.TYPE, org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.CharEditor.class);

and doesn't add the corresponding annotation to CharEditor.
Comment 3 Jan Stola 2013-04-30 14:39:28 UTC 
I have added char.class into PropertyEditorRegistration annotation on CharEditor.
