JSCalendar for the DatePicker tag
* Rene will contact author about license change
* There may also be a Dojo equivalent
Dojo has a date picker:
http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/tests/widget/test_DatePicker.html
it is somewhat less fully featured than JSCalendar. I haven't used
it in an app. JSCalendar has worked well for me in other apps, but I
haven't gotten very deeply into how it works nor have I investigated
integrating it with JSP tags.
FCKEditor for the Richtexteditor tag
* Is there a Dojo equivalent?
Dojo does have a rich text editor:

http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/tests/widget/test_Editor.html
I've actually not yet had cause to apply a RTE in an application.
Walter Zorns tooltip library for all UI Tags
* Is there a Dojo equivalent?
I'm pretty sure there is not.
tabbedpane.vm Archived UI template
* Is this a server-side compoonent, or is there a Dojo equivalent?
I'm not sure what this is -- is it this?

I've used Dojo tabs in an application satisfactorily. A
rearchitecture of the implementation introduced some problems, so I
forked the original implementation into my own widget package and
soldiered on. I'm not enough of a JS/DHTML whiz to understand why my
page looked wrong in the new tab implementation, but it was an
awfully complicated page.
I wonder if there's a way to generalize an "API" out of these so that
we are less bound to an implementation. Certainly, a date picker or
rich text field which ultimately just ends up setting a value of a
single form field should be not too hard to generalize, although I
haven't looked at all the models for integrating JS widgets into a
page neatly. I guess there are also issues of triggering the
widgets, etc.
Hope this helps.
