EXT have released a new version of their great Javascript framework V2.1.

I love using EXT and I think it has to be one of the best frameworks currently available; especially for application development. Where as JQuery + Prototype are lightweight frameworks, which are great for developing websites and systems that don`t require indepth widgets.

What I find great is that it also allows integration of additional frameworks like - jQuery, YUI, Prototype + Scriptaculous. So you can still include existing functions into EXT based project.

Oracle/Stellent implements the YUI library using a component which places their Javascriptand CSS files in the weblayout/resources folder. Using that same concept, and following the Scriptaculous component which David Roe has developed, I have done the same to keep these JS framework components consistent..

I have also allowed for addition environment paramaters that can be passed to the header.
Debug=True/False
Adapter=EXT/JQUERY/PROTOTYPE/YUI
Locale= - Currently not available as I haven`t included language support in this instance of EXT.

For those of you who wish to use the EXT framework with Stellent / Oracles UCM and have a corporate EXT license I have created this easy install component:

Oracle / Stellent Content Server EXTjs component.

Feel free to download it, if you like it and want to use it commercially goto EXT and buy a license..
