ok so I think what you're asking is how to use jquery or ext-js with
xwiki.
That's a good question and I don't know the answer. All I know is that
the majority of JS toolkits have some mode that allows them to run
with other competitor too. You need to google for that.
Now back to your issue if you don't use any vm from templates then I
don't think xwiki should load any JS files either since they're
referenced from the vm files...
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for warning me about the potential pitfall.
Well I am keeping all the jars as touching that part is dangerous.
I will tell you why I am asking this question on rendering part.
To build my new skin I am using jquery and ext-js as the javascript
toolkits.
When I include them along with other javascript files they somehow
don't get
loaded and I am not able to get my widgets working. Currently I am
build new
skin for just one space, but over the time the whole UI would be
rendered
using javascript from these two toolkits only.
Thus other vm files which may be using some other javasscript code
won't be
needed and to have a cleaner code I would not like to keep these vm
files.
Anyway I would always take care, keep proper backups before before
tampering
with the core xwiki structure.

Hi Sachin,
You're free to do whatever you want of course but please don't ask
for
support later on because some xwiki skin you'll want to use doesn't
work for you :) (it won't work but that'll be normal since it'll rely
on files in the templates dir).
You're touching here at XWiki core structure and it's not never a
good
thing to change that unless you completely understand what it means.
In the same way you can delete lots of jar files in the WEB-INF/lib
dir but if you do you'll find one day that when you use such and such
plugin it doesn't work.
Thanks

Hi,
I have created a new skin and for all the user actions the vm files,
css and
javascript code is picked up from that skin only.
Thus others are not required. And as per the quote below the files
in
template directory are picked up only if vm files are not found in
skin
directory, this won't be the case for us because the vm file should
exist in
the skin directory.
Thus for the custom deployment of xwiki I was streamlining the xwiki
code we
are using and deleting redundant code.
Also based on your comments below, second thing I can do is, keep
all the vm
code under template directory only and have the css, js, images and
other
static resources under the skin directoy.
I feel second approach would be better one.
Thanks
