[Building Sakai] Adding wyswig editor to JSP form

[Matthew Jones]

The only thing you might need to worry about with this is that the user
change change their editor from fck to the now default for 2.9 (ckeditor).
This would always launch the fckeditor.

There's a function in the portalService api to get the active Editor.

http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/2.8.0/apidocs/org/sakaiproject/portal/api/PortalService.html#getActiveEditor()

You can then build up the appropriate scripts from editor to deal with this:
http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/2.8.0/apidocs/org/sakaiproject/portal/api/Editor.html

This *possibly* should be somewhere other than portal, but everyone has to
have portal, right? ;)

It *looks* like the commit against osp uses this to build up the javascript
needed to dump this into a jsp: http://goo.gl/8vVhc

Hope this is somewhat accurate!
