Hey Cédric, thanks for bringing this up. First of all, looking at gxp and GeoExt.ux, there is a different focus: The former is an application building framework designed around a viewer with easy configuration (without coding) and a modular architecture of action/widget plugins. The latter is a packaging model for UI components that can be used in any context.
Now looking at GeoExt.ux, there were not many extensions for GeoExt1, and especially Alexandre's tree builder ux is very generic and does not make any UI assumptions. So I think for GeoExt2, the layer builder can go into the core library. Other potential extensions that introduce UIs and workflows could just be handled as applications, with generic widgets being candidates for inclusion into GeoExt2 core. Having said that, I don't think we'll need ux for GeoExt2. Alexandre, if you want to create a pull request for bringing the tree builder into GeoExt2 core, I'd be happy to review. Andreas.
