Basically, when your code invokes most methods of JavaScriptSupport
(or, in older versions of Tapestry, RenderSupport) that triggers the
inclusion of the "core" JavaScriptStack. "core" is "tapestry.js" plus
supporting libraries such as prototype.js. This intent is that, if
you are not using JavaScript on a page, you don't force the browser to
load all that JavaScript.
So, for example, if you page has some JavaScript associated with it,
package that into a companion JavaScript file (I usually name it the
same as the Java class, but with a different extension), thus:
@Import("library=NiftyPage.js")
public class NiftyPage { ...
Now Tapestry's core stack, including prototype & scriptaculous, is
loaded as well as your JavaScript.
This is better than inline <script> elements, from a bunch of
performance and maintainability points of view.
