This article is meant to describe the further development of a package mechanism for qooxdoo. Application developers should use the packages to split up their applications in several parts. Packages can exist of multiple modules and/or classes. It is is already possible to build them, but it’s difficult to achieve. The goal is to make it easier for the application developer to work with packages.

If you build a package of your application classes all of their dependencies are included in that specific package. So the application developer has to know all his dependencies of his classes which are part of his package to avoid any duplicate classes. When your application grows and getting more complex this will end up with a lot of manual work.

Currently, the generator configuration manual has a special section on packages.
