The CF javascript libraries for UI work (cfdiv, cfwindow, etc) were based on the ExtJS library (which then merged with Sencha). Adobe/Macromedia, as far as I'm aware, never contributed any work to that project but did license it. Going forward, it is my understanding that Adobe is getting more of the JQuery love in its life and they have definitely contributed resources to some of those projects, JQuery Mobile in particular. The Railo community implementation of the equivalent CF UI functions such as cfwindow are based on the JQuery library (and were done by Andrea Campolonghi). I expect Adobe to likely move to JQuery-based components in the future given their investment in JQuery Mobile.
