I appreciate your answers, but to get a flexible framework there must be a 
flexible way of handling this.

1. I could not find this documented (which means I didn't find it and that 
means it was not clear enough or whatever!):
  a. that it is not possible to add new classes in existing namespaces, also qx 
namespace, without new Manifest.json files (which I have shown it is the only 
case it works).
      when you do NOT want to extend classes f.i. adding a missing widget in 
the namespace and you don't think that grouping should be other place
  b. that overriding is not possible
      could be useful, but not really what I wanted cause it might disrupt the 
library
2. I would do 1a in Java too!!!!

1b is also an option for people who think parts of the framework is not good 
enough or they want to change functionality but keep the other structure due to 
compatibility from version to version. Look at the recent thread about 
performance decrease from one version to another.....!!!!! In that case he has 
developed new so called light-weight widgets, but for compatibility he might 
want to use the same namespace = no changing, and then hook in the new ones 
instead of the old ones!!!!

Do you understand me now? This would increase the flexibility and (RE)USABILITY 
of the framework.
