Bug 327542

Comment 1 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-18 11:25:32 EDT

I removed the following unused classes in CVS HEAD:
- qx.io.remote.IframeTransport
- qx.ui.form.InputCheckSymbol 
- qx.ui.form.CheckBox 
- qx.ui.form.RadioButton 
- qx.log.appender.HtmlElement 
- qx.application.Basic

Comment 2 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-18 11:48:03 EDT

I manually searched for static qooxdoo classes that could be removed, but found nothing that could be safely be removed without major refactoring.

Comment 3 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-26 08:17:46 EDT

I removed some dead code from the qx.bom.Element.* classes.

Comment 4 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 06:30:06 EDT

I removed unused classes qx.constant.Core, qx.core.Package and qx.lang.Generics in CVS HEAD.

I found a couple more classes that can be removed with a reasonable amount of refactoring. Also, some more classes can be reduced in size by removing dead code.

Comment 5 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 09:33:12 EDT

Removed more dead code in CVS HEAD from these static classes:
- qx.dom.Node 
- qx.util.Validation
- qx.util.ColorUtil
- qx.html.Dimension
- qx.html.Scroll 
- qx.html.StyleSheet
- qx.lang.Array
- qx.lang.Function 
- qx.lang.String

Comment 6 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 11:23:29 EDT

Removed everyhting qx.locale.* (5 classes) with some refactoring in Calendar.js, Property.js, and Spinner.js.

Comment 7 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 12:06:09 EDT

removed qx.core.Log and the dead code in Object.js that used it.

Comment 8 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 13:06:46 EDT

Removed all remaining Interfaces (IApplication, IResizeable, IRange) with some minor refactoring, and qx.Interace. Interfaces are now no longer supported.

Comment 9 Tim Buschtoens 2010-10-27 14:20:14 EDT

Removed the following classes with some minor refactoring in related classes:
- qx.core.Aspect
- qx.core.Version
- qx.util.Compare
- qx.bom.client.Engine
- qx.util.Normalization

Client.js in now 942KB, thats almost 40K less since this bug was opened.

I could do this forever, but i think that i now have picked all the low-to-mid-hanging fruits. To remove any more code would mean considerable refactoring. The most tempting remaining target is probably LegacyProperty.js...

Comment 10 Tim Buschtoens 2011-04-07 05:42:24 EDT

By removing client-logging and some other stuff we are currently at 880KB.
 
LegacyProperty is used for 3 kinds of properties:
- _legacy properties, which are not used, therefore that code can go
- _fast properties, which are simple and rarely used, so that can go after some refactoring
- _cached proprties, which are heavily used and can not be removed at this time

As soon as Bug 342047 is fixed, it might be feasible to remove Alias.js.

As soon as Atom has been removed or replaced with MultiCellWidget, the entire Preloading system could go.

Comment 11 Tim Buschtoens 2011-06-09 10:50:22 EDT

After the Tree-Table merge, we are now at 863 kB.

Comment 12 vineel Mising name 2012-05-30 08:35:05 EDT

Can some one explain me , how messages are exchanged between Java code on the server and Java script client code .. in case of Eclipse RAP applications

Comment 13 Tim Buschtoens 2012-05-30 10:20:20 EDT

Hi. This is really off-topic, a better place for such questions is the forum (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=34).

To answer your question, look here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/RWT

Comment 14 Tim Buschtoens 2013-07-01 05:26:38 EDT

I think by 2.0 we trimmed the current client as much as can be done without re-implementing *a lot* of older code, which is hard to justify. Also, the new RAP protocol could provide an opportunity to create a real slim client with a completely new widget set.
