I was definitely going to look at the Dojo-based API that is available in sling already. I like json, so that would be my preference for doing the browser/server communication anyway and dojo has great support for that ;-) > i have recently seen a great example of a very good jcr explorer using > extjs. as a matter of fact i think that this was visually > substantially superior to the > dojo/swing based jcr explorers that i have seen in the past. > i think it may well be worth the effort of looking into finding out what > we > can do around the gplv3 licensing of extjs. > Personally, I prefer dojo and would rather contribute something based on that. If people want to do an ext-based explorer, I'm not sure that's something I'd be interested in. As for looks, I'd need you to be more specific about how ext is "visually substantially superior." Honestly, though, there is more to javascript UI development than just looks ;-) I am genuinely interested in your opinion and examples, though, because I've seen some really good dojo-based UI's. I do think that the default L&F of dojo maybe isn't the best, but I'm certain we wouldn't have to live with that. > just my two cents... ;) > > regards, > david > Cheers, Craig
