Well, the way the PropertyEditorManager.registerEditor() works, the last
one to call it "wins". Therefore, if you want to override the lang
types using the PropertyEditor, you'd have to do it manually.

I don't even get asked to register those because there are already
PropertyEditor classes registered for those by the core JDK.

Ok.

Well, the EL API has already chosen to use the PropertyEditor API. Jan,
you're on the CC list for this bug, care to comment?
