yeah it has to be around somewhere.... aw my gawd.... do a quick search and you get this: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-upload/ http://code.google.com/p/gwt-examples/wiki/DemoGAEMultiFileBlobUpload http://code.google.com/p/gwtupload/ http://gwt-ext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1581 dozens of the bloody things. ok, the rule regarding "plugins" is this: if you want to add something that supports a feature but adds a "plugin" to provide the missing functionality on other platforms you MUST NOT add the proprietary or the binary-compiled plugin to the pyjamas code-base. you CAN however provide a "download script" - see examples/employeeadmin/download.sh - which people must run (on their local system) in order to obtain the plugin. we have a number of places where ridiculously-large pee aitch pee scripts are being cut/paste copied across multiple examples and this isn't really on: those are libraries that are maintained and bug-fixed by other people, and should *not* be included in pyjamas. also, you _should_ try to make sure that, where practical, things work with the various pyjamas-desktop ports. if it's not even remotely possible i'm reluctant to have it in the main pyjamas libraries but it could go into "contrib". l.
