Hi, About a year ago I tried qooxdoo and found out that it has lot of good stuff. The two downsides for me is typing long names separated with dots(I think thats an issue with javascript) and having to move between text editor an command line. So I decided to search for an IDE to no avail (all the advertised do not work at least for me). I settled to create support for it in netbeans. With what I have you can do most of the generate jobs direct from netbeans(this solves the command line issue). But long-typing which can be solved by code-completion is not solved because I think there is something with the way qooxdoo team writes their javascript(not sure).
Why did I come to this conclusion? Recently google opensourced their closure which is as large as qooxdoo itself. just adding the source to my project gave code completion right away which is what the netbeans team are always proud to say that their javascript editor can code-complete any library out-of-the-box. The question is if netbeans can code complete closure why not qooxdoo. I am about to give up on the netbeans integration project. A very good solution could be to leverage all qooxdoo tools to create an IDE. All qooxdoo tools especially the playground has features IDEs. BTW: Why I am this concerned is because I think qooxdoo is a full-featured frame-work that is not getting enough exposure in the javascript community(i dont know who to blame you can start by posting a tutorial here http://net.tutsplus.com/about/write-a-tutorial/). I plan to do some thing about it but new developers use things that are easy for them to use via tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
