             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: console
    Affects Versions: 2.2

             Fix For: 2.2

Currently, our console depends on two different versions of dojo library. One 
is 1.3.0, which is used by EJB portlet and just updated from 1.2.1 
(GERONIMO-4723) and fixed a bug(GERONIMO-4746). I hope we can go on updating it 
to the latest version 1.3.2.

The other one is 0.4.3, the legacy lib, which has not been supported  by dojo 
team, but used by our debug-view portlets, I prefer to update it to the latest 
lib, and the advantage are as follows:
1. keep consistent in the portlet page style with the EJB portlet
2. reduce a bit to the geronimo footprint size
3. Although we have ported the dojo-legacy to build the source in 
external(GERONIMO-4750), with this update, we don't need that as well.
4. will be more easy to maintainance the program logic by using the unified 
dojo lib.
5. the doc of 1.3.x is good and easy to find.

There are also some risks:
1. There has been so much changes between the dojo versions that the effort 
might be 1-2 week to complete.
2. I did not find any documents for the old dojo lib, so it might be easier to 
re-write the whole pages to base on 1.3.x and dwr 3.0.x(we have upgrade the dwr 
successfully in GERONIMO-4753), but I not sure.

Any thoughts?
