Ok, just an aside, but in your directory diagram, there is no "trunk"
under "tools", but that's probably just an omission.

Good.

Mh, actually I think it's all over the place, it's in the skeletons, in
the introduction of the manual, asf. Most people seem to get along
pretty well. Can you be more specific in which chapter of the manual you
looked for this information and didn't find it?!

Well, I'm not so sure. If you want to *overwrite* existing framework
classes, this is actually not easy, but then, why would you want to do
that?! You can easily *extend* framework classes through inheritance on
the OO level and achieve whatever you want. And this is the recommended way.
You can even *extend* the framework with new name spaces if you are so
inclined, by e.g. creating a library with a complex name space like
"qx.ui.mynewwidgets". But I find even that questionable. Why not
creating a distinct name space like "mylib.ui.mynewwidgets"?! The
framework provides a base library, and you create your own libraries on
top of it, adding new and inheriting from the base classes. Why force
everything under one common root name space?! You wouldn't try to do the
same thing to the "java.*" name space in Java, would you?!
