apologies in advance for the complete ignorance here:
- is there any kind of potential collision that can occur between the gwt
javascript and the jQuery javascript?
Namespace collision -- no. jQuery registers itself globally as '$' and
'jQuery',
and neither GWT itself nor our GWT code use those names anywhere.
However, there can be behavior conflicts. I'm currently debugging a problem
where tooltips aren't destroyed when grid refreshes happen. The jQuery widget
doesn't 'know' that the GWT widget it's attached to was destroyed :(
- is jQuery expected to substantially affect performance / loading time
on the client side or anything like that?
First-load time will be negligible and cached.
Mass-use of bad selectors could decrease browser performance. I think we should
very rarely use jQuery in oVirt. Usages of it should be very justifiable.
