  Hi devs,
 Following the vote on
 
http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2014-September/057560.html I
 started working on a generic tree widget based on jsTree. I'm almost
 done now and I'm wondering where's the best place to commit my work.
 There are 3 parts:
 (1) A generic JavaScript tree widget (used by all trees)
 The common practice so far was to put the new JavaScript code in
 xwiki-platform-web (resources/uicomponents). But since we started
 using webjars I'm wondering if it's not better to create a webjar. The
 advantage is that the applications will be able to explicitly declare
 a dependency on the tree widget. The downside is that the JavaScript
 code is a bit harder to modify. Another option is to put the tree
 widget in a JSX object but we may need to use it in Velocity templates
 also (e.g. the report step of the DW).
 I prefer the webjar. 
+1 for webjar
 (2) A couple of wiki pages that define specific trees:
 * One page for the All Docs Tree (space-page-child)
 * One page for the XWiki Entity Tree
 (wiki-space-page-[translations|attachments|objects|properties|sections])
 * One page for the Hierarchy Tree (page-child)
 * One page for the XAR import tree (space-page)
 * others later maybe
 I'm hesitating between creating a dedicated module
 (xwiki-platform-tree-ui) and putting them in existing modules like the
 xwiki-platform-index. 
I really don't like too much grouping pages based on a technical
criteria (xwiki-platform-panels-ui is very bad) so my vote goes to
putting those pages where their content make sense. So that's probably
xwiki-platform-index for most of them. However there is something I
don't understand here, how is the import UI which is a template is
supposed to work without the XAR import tree (which will happen in an
empty wiki) ?
 (3) A couple of jobs (Java code) to perform tree operations that can
 take time, like deleting or renaming a space.
 For these I could use the xwiki-platform-refactoring module since they
 are generic operations, not limited to trees. We have a Delete space
 entry in the top menu and we probably want a Rename space one. 
xwiki-platform-refactoring sounds good
 WDYT?
 Thanks,
 Marius
