Recently stumbled across qooxdoo [1], assuming it to be a rather powerful platform for building JS/AJAX-based web applications which however could benefit from having a good NetBeans tooling available. JavaScript editing in NetBeans seems to be up to working with these projects, so eventually initial support (creating/building projects) seems to be "limited"(?) to creating a "qooxdoo webapp" project type and to incorporate the qooxdoo.org specific, python-based mechanism of source-generation, project build and the like? [1]http://www.qooxdoo.org
qooxdoo looks like a js lib that has a python requirement for app development, once python is formally in the IDE it would be nice to include it. If you'd like to itegrate it into the IDE you can do so now by getting the NBs release with early access to python here http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.5/python/ea/ then download the qooxdoo zip and wrap it in a js lib Tools->Libraries->JavaScriptLibraries->New Library-> Library Name -> navigate to qooxdoo zip
I will have a look at these options, thanks for the comment so far. I think the Python requirement is not "that" much there; basically they do use Python scripts to build skeleton projects / generate code and these things. qooxdoo, however, obviously seems more than just a library to be simply included to an arbitrary web project. Having a quick look at qooxdoo, tooling would have to be something like this: - There would be the need to have a custom "qooxdoo" project type for which, basically, the "new project" assistant should ask for a project name and target folder and then does call the qooxdoo "create-application.py --name <name> --folder <folder>" in order to create a skeleton project to open it in the IDE. - By then, opening the project as a "static HTML project" as the qooxdoo project itself (not the build / generation tooling) is just plain HTML + JavaScript so NetBeans should have all there is required to get going. - There will be the need to run the "generate.py" script to generate sources once in a while from within the IDE, eventually using an action registered in the projects context menu? For what I see, it boils just down to calling an external python to run these scripts with the appropriate arguments. Maybe I'll find some time to look at this and see how it can be done...
This would be greatly useful for developing the frontend to a j2ee application, especially if there was a visual editor for widget placement.
