Ref CQ 3933 CQ 3950 - references the use of the 3rd part non-EPL ExplorerCanvas Javascript library. Could it be a problem that the order in which resources are loaded is undefined? If a Javascript library is contributed by a bundle of its own, dependent code must not require the library at load time, but only at runtime. (In reply to comment #3) Hi Ralf, In the custom widgets that I have written and the libraries that I have seen that use ExCanvas, it is only used at runtime since most are just initializing a canvas tag. However, I do suppose it is possible that a library could use a canvas tag at load time. But in my view it isn't a big issue. We have been using this bundle in our dashboard and have not seen any problems with our custom widgets. Initial checkin complete in accordance with parallel IP. Waiting for full approval for newsgroup announcement. This contribution has now received full IP approval.

Created attachment 164728 [details] IE canvas bundle for RAP custom widgets Many custom widgets utilize the excanvas from Google for HTML5 support in older IE browsers. Bloat can occur if custom widget bundles all contribute the IE canvas as a resource. Making it available as a bundle in the incubator would alleviate this problem.
