Hi Carsten, the build system included in skeletons is just for the regular user of qooxdoo.
It uses the generator.py script which has a lot more options than shown in the Makefiles. You can indeed create "packages" of classes, for example of core, tree, table etc. Please be sure to checkout the enourmous functionality included in this script. However it is always a good idea to create and use these packages because it definietly reduces latency based performance impacts caused by to many files loaded. To get a impression what's possible take a look at the presets included with qooxdoo and try them yourself: frontend/framework/tool/generator.py --from-file frontend/framework/tool/presets/packages.dat The options you can find in this file also exists for the script itself e.g. "include = FOO" could be translated to "--include FOO". However it is not possible to create multiple output files in one execution step. This is only possible with the --from-file parameter. Documentation could be found in our wiki: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/user_manual/custom_builds Hope this clarifies things a bit.
