By default a simple "make" will include all qooxdoo files. We call it 
the "source" version. We have a different make target "make build" which 
includes only the needed files into one single JavaScript file and 
performs some optimizations. The normal build is intended for 
development, while the "build" version is meant for deployment of the 
application. You can find some more information on the skeletons in our 
wiki <http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/skeleton>.

You can tell the build system to just include the required files in the 
"soure" version by setting the Makefile variable 
APPLICATION_COMPLETE_SOURCE to false 
<http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/makefile_defaults#application_complete_source>.
 
If you do this make sure to run make each time you use a new qooxdoo 
class in your code.

Sure, just ask ;-)
