Hi Christian!

For instance, see the top paragraph at the qooxdoo 0.7.2 release notes:
http://qooxdoo.org/about/release_notes/0.7.2

Right, that was 2007-09-19 already. ;-) AFAIK qooxdoo was one of the
first (if not the first?) Ajax frameworks to feature such a
browser-based tool chain management.

While this early "buildtool" prototype was more or less functional, it
was clear that the dependencies at that time - particularly on "make"
and a Unix-like environment - were hard to overcome for a really
convincing solution.

But the idea for such a browser-based, "command shell"-free tool chain
management was never dropped. In fact now that qooxdoo only requires a
trivial Python installation to take advantage of all the tooling, the
original proof-of-concept was transferred to 0.8, called "toolbox".

Most of this work was done as part of a Bachelor thesis. The code surely
needs a major cleanup (if not rewrite), and there are still some
technical issues to overcome. Nevertheless, you might want to give it a
try in SVN. If you've got any questions, feel free to get in touch with
me.

TTYL,

Andreas
