Mind over Matters: Rumbles of my mind.. Echo in this blog..

Dmitry Kushner has written up an excellent blog entry describing the architecture of the woodstock client side widget library including example project complete with use case diagrams and overall architecture overview. This should be a must read for any one who wants to understand more and gain insight into the woodstock widget library.The document is at: http://blogs.sun.com/dmitry/entry/illustrated_guide_on_woodstock_client

Also, in case you want to try out the woodstock widget library in netbeans, you can go to the netbeans update center and install the javascript library manager module. This should make available yahoo widgets and woodstock widgets (at present, only these two are available) which you can use in your web application. To use these widgets in your app, just right click on your web application, go to properties->libraries and then add the widget library that you want to use in your application. Now you should be able to use the woodstock widget library in your application. The widget library goes and gets itself installed in the web/resources directory of your webapp. Note however though that there are no jmaki type code snippet features or code completion capabilities available for woodstock widget library for now
