John, congratulations with the long awaited release! :) qooxdoo guys, do you think that project like this could at some moment land in qooxdoo and get official support? What about qooxdoo patches (mostly strict mode compatibility related, AFAIK) - could they be merged upstream? This would reduce maintainship costs for those who want to experiment with both QxCompiler and official toolchain.
I didn't yet try QxCompiler with my project - I feel I yet lack some understanding of how it works. However, I tried to test it with the skeleton app. Off the top of my head: - one needs to do "npm install" first and to run test scripts with "node <script>.js". This might be quite obvious for those experienced with Node, but I guess the docs will nevertheless benefit from mentioning this; - it's not easy to clone a repo unless you've set up Github SSH access. This is because of "qooxdoo" submodule pointing to "g...@github.com:john spackman/qooxdoo.git". Could it be a HTTPS URL instead? - does QxCompiler honour QOOXDOO_PATH setting? How do I define qooxdoo location if it is different from the bundled one? - testdata/qxt directory doesn't contain skeleton app. In order to play with test scripts, one needs to create the app manually (as "skeleton.Application"?) and copy it to the said location; - does lib/compiler.jar really belong there? Most importantly, I was unable to find clear instructions how to produce a single-script minified build (a-la "generate.py build"). By deafult, QxCompiler produces a bunch of JS files, which significantly slows down loading and, obviously, is not acceptable for production. Is it possible at all with the current version (maybe in combination with classic generator)? I hope these are just minor issues. After all, you've done a great job :) I wish you good luck and further progress wih QxCompiler.
