Yeah, there are somewhat mixed opinions on that. There is something to a single command as the user interface (compare svn, git, ...), with lots of sub-commands. Others like distinct commands better... > > This eliminated the file ./generate.py and keep in the project > directory only the project code. 'generate.py' is only a very small proxy to the real generator script, which is QX/tool/bin/generator.py, and exists only so people don't have to remember the path to the qooxdoo tools. I wouldn't be sad at all if it goes away... You can call QX/tool/bin/generator.py directly, if you want. > > If the user put qooxdoo into the PATH env var, it can just call... > > $ qooxdoo build You can already do that. Just put QX/tool/bin in your PATH, and create-application.py, generator.py, ecmalint.py, etc. are all directly callable (That's what I do :)). > > .. to build the application > > Currenty if the user change the qooxdoo framework location, it needs > to adapt the config.json file.

That's also already true. To switch to another qooxdoo installation, just edit the QOOXDOO_PATH in the global 'let' of your config.json.

For example: > $ qooxdoo create-class myApplication.admin.BlackList [--extend > qx.ui.form.Button] [--type singleton|static|etc] That's what we basically do with generate.py, just that it doesn't cover each and every use case.
