ok so I think what you're asking is how to use jquery or ext-js with xwiki.
That's a good question and I don't know the answer. All I know is that the majority of JS toolkits have some mode that allows them to run with other competitor too. You need to google for that. Now back to your issue if you don't use any vm from templates then I don't think xwiki should load any JS files either since they're referenced from the vm files...
