[Building Sakai] Adding wyswig editor to JSP form

[Matthew Jones]

Right, the "Editor Registry" was added as part of CKEditor and is only
available in 2.8+ (SAK-17880). In versions prior to 2.8, you'll only
*really* be supporting FCKEditor even though the property
wysiwyg.editor was available since at least 2.2.

Using this function will also get you any registry overridden via a site
property "wysiwyg.editor", saving some code. And you'll need to detect one
or another. (http://goo.gl/50jKt)

Since 2.7 is basically near EOL I'm guessing that this won't be backported,
but if you still need to support 2.7, you'll have to do something else,
probably hardcoded as you have, as Charles mentioned.

Thanks!
