Can you templates be sensibly added to/compliment of our existing widget templates? See http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/building-widgets.html
I gave your template a quick look and basically the IWC components could be seen as an addition to it. I didn't create my template using "ant seed-widget" but as far as I see it this is no problem because I tried to stick as close as possible to the widget developers guide.
The background for using a widget-template in our project is that everybody can use IWC functionality easily (therefore the provided library) and that we have a common look and feel. Furthermore, not everybody is developing using a wookie instance and therefore I didn't come up with build routines.
If this code is already publicly viewable let me know, I'll have a look at it to see if it is a natural complement. This part of the code I can review.
Yes, the template is publicly viewable by checking it out from our svn repos:
svn co https://ltfll.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltfll/Wp2/widgets/_template/src/
There is a README trying to sum up how to use the template and its functions. Regarding IWC, you may want to have a closer look at ./lib/iwc.js. But be aware that some functionality is sepcifically targeted to our purpose (e.g. we are using status messages displaying the status of IWC communication which relies on an "ltfll-footer" <div> which needs to be inserted at the bottom of the widget).
But some parts could easily be generalized and may be included in the general widget template.
