Igor Drobiazko commented on TAP5-486:
-------------------------------------
I think the switch from Prototype to jQuery is the worst thing we can do for
Tapestry now. I have spoken to a lot of people who are raising concerns about
Tapestry's back compatibility. Usually this is the only reason not to use
Tapestry. Tapestry has to restore the developers' confidence. Some time ago a
decision (for using Prototype) was made, now we have to live with it.
> Switch Tapestry's built-in JavaScript support from Prototype to jQuery

> Key: TAP5-486
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-486
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.1.0.0
> Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship

> Like rats deserting a sinking ship ...
> This is not a definitive requirement; I've created this issue to promote
> discussion.
> It's quite likely that a move like this could be accomplished quite smoothly
> for users who are meerly consumers of JavaScript components; authors of
> JavaScript components would have to make some changes.
> Possibly we should code the jQuery stack from the get-go to NOT use the $()
> method, but instead use j$(). That extra character to type could make all the
> difference is allowing a smooth upgrade, where jQuery becomes the default,
> but prototype/scriptaculous can still be used.
> Possibly a new annotation, @PrototypeSupport for components to ensure that
> the Prototype libraries are available for compatibility?
