RE: [Mapbuilder-devel] Initialisation and dependancies

[Mike.Adair@CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca]

I was thinking along the same lines, except I would call it just
mapbuilder.js.  The last line of this file should also call the Config
constructor and assign it to the global config object.  

I would just include Modelbase and WidgetBase in here and not worry about if
it is already loaded or not.  All mapbuilder apps will have a model, and
most will have widgets.

Also, we should rename the config object as "mbConfig" instead of "config"
because "config" is more likely to be used by other javascript packages.

There is some clean up to do in Util.js - this probably shouldn't have any
geographic code.

Do we merge Sarissa into this file as well?

I'd like to simplify the Config.xml file further and remove most of the 
<script includes> from complete.html.

I don't think that Config.xml or complete.html should know that MapPane.js 
depends on WidgetBase.js and Listener.js.  This information should be stored

inside MapPane.js.

So I propose that complete.html only includes and initialises one script -
the 
mapbuilderBootStrap.js script.
MapbuilderBootStrap will include all initial scripts (Util.js and Config.js)

then load all the scripts specified in the Config.xml (as it currently
does).

Objects like MapPane, which have dependancies on other objects will need to 
load these scripts at initialisation time.  I assume that we can have 
something like:

if (! WidgetBase) loadScript($baseDir+"widget/WidgetBase.js")

Any objections?
