util.js

[Gabriel Barros <gb...@yahoo-inc.com>]

I failed to see what's the utility there... anyone care to explain the
black magic involved?

/**
 * @fileoverview Utility functions for the Open Gadget Container
 */

Function.prototype.inherits = function(parentCtor) {
  function tempCtor() {};
  tempCtor.prototype = parentCtor.prototype;
  this.superClass_ = parentCtor.prototype;
  this.prototype = new tempCtor();
  this.prototype.constructor = this;
};

Thank you,

That code should probably be deleted. Anything in the top level "javascript"
directory should be treated as nothing more than examples (maybe we should
just rename it to 'examples'?).

I think the only file in there that is actually important is the copy of
rpc_relay.html.

This file used to have a bunch more code.  The remaining utility function
inherits simulates java style inheritence and is used in gadgets.js like so:
gadgets.DefaultUserPrefStore.inherits(gadgets.UserPrefStore);
