I don't know what's so wrong with the solution. I'm really sure you don't want the same layout in the contributed folder as in the qooxdoo directories itself. For example you normally don't need each contribution for your application. Also some contributions are more stable than others. Some of them modifies appearance themes or includes diffs for qooxdoo files. I really don't know how we should handle this. In my opinion the progress of the contributed folder itself can be optimized. If each contributor updates and develops the contributed folder, I think they should be stable enough after some weeks for the core of qooxdoo. But currently I don't see which of them fulfill this requirement. I ask you all, what's so bad to manually include the files of the contributed folder in your documents? The most of them are really small. You can use them without compression, too. I don't think that any build-system needs to respect them. But this is just my opinion. I think this could be also understood as a incentive for the contributors to develop their stuff even further so we can discuss about the inclusion to the real qooxdoo tree.

Wouldn't it make more sense if the qooxdoo developers prescribed a directory layout for the contributed folder which mirrored the qooxdoo directory, and if there would be a build_with_contributed.sh script which then makes a build version with all contributed widgets? Then everybody who works on widgets can leave the scripts in place in their own qooxdoo checkout, and occasionally can update the copy in the contributed folder.

But please, please, please don't start any discussion about SVN access and so on, we had that already, we did not go anywhere with this. I am just interested in a good solution.

Sebastian, wouldn't that be possible?

Kent,
a small README, or sh/bat script that moves files around when
contribution is not checkout&play will cost 1 minute to you and save 1
hour to newbies... like me.

Bye.

however you need also to copy gif in
source/themes/widgets/windows/arrows/. Now is working.
A newbie like me think: why should I put images in
widgets/windows/arrows/ if source code contains widgets/arrows/ ?
Thanks for the pointer Marco :)

I now have the SplitPane working too; though I commented out the buttons since they are not working properly. Thanks Kent, SplitPane is a great widget!
