[jira] [Commented] (JSPWIKI-811) Migrate from Mootools to jQuery

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-811?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14113339#comment-14113339 ]

--------------------------------------

Hi All,

I'm voting for this also. There are a lot of third party javascript libraries that allow us to do some cool and interesting AJAX/UI based functionality in plugins, but they all rely on jQuery as their framework.

I've read through the attached mail archive discussion, and it's mostly the file *jspwiki-commonstyles.js* that needs to be updated. I'm happy to volunteer some time to help make this switch for the next version.

Hi David,

If this change can be implemented it would be great. We've got quite a lot
of functionality in our
own plans that is being held back by the lack of jQuery in JSPWiki, and my
own experience is,
yes, it's possible to intermix both libraries, but in practice, more
trouble than it's worth. I don't
want to spend my time trying to debug conflicts (or put in shims and shams
to permit them to
interoperate).

As I've advocated previously, I think it would be a huge boost to the
project for plugin and tool
developers who use JavaScript (who largely know jQuery but not Mootools) to
be able to use
jQuery and JSPWiki together, and that Mootools has perhaps even held the
project back.

+1

Cheers,

Ichiro
