Your example looks straightforward for solving your specific problem. It
is good to see how easy it is to develop own widgets in qooxdoo.
For the matter of coding style: you can run "make pretty" to
pretty-print your application classes. This little helper also inserts
automatically JSDoc fragments for each of your methods and it's a first
step towards using the API Viewer for own project. Just run a "make api"
to generate the API for your application classes and all used qooxdoo
classes as well.

We appreciate such feedback. Maybe such widgets are not integrated in
the qooxdoo framework itself, but the qooxdoo-contrib project is just
the right place for such widgets. If your GroupBox widget is modified a
little bit towards being a little more generic this would be a good
candidate for qooxdoo-contrib. If it helps you in your application
development it sure helps other developers as well.

Of course you are right. Widgets play an important role to people when
it comes to picking a framework. The qooxdoo framework itself contains
more generic/basic widgets. As I mentioned before the qooxdoo-contrib
project is the right place for such more specific widgets and this
project also acts as an incubator for the qooxdoo project. Integrating a
widget of the qooxdoo-contrib project into the framework should be no
problem. However integrating widgets of the contrib project into your
application is also a real no-brainer :)

Be aware of that qooxdoo uses a dual-license of LGPL and EPL.
