That's how IPTemplatesAttribute register its specific attribute editor:

classs IPTemplatesAttribute ... {
static {
    FormFieldRegistry.registerField("w3c.jigsaw.auth.IPTemplatesAttribute"
                                    , "w3c.jigsaw.auth.IPTemplatesField");
}
}

It's basically the same thing for new class of resources, except that
you register them to the FormEditorFactory, at static init of your
resource class.

Anselm.
