            Description

            To avoid any variable name conflict with third party libraries the code in Prototype, Scriptaculous and components should be evaluated within a function local context.

            Note that some existing ICEfaces projects may take advantage of the public Scriptaculous and Prototype libs that we currently provide, and hiding these will break these applications. As it is not easy to implement this in a configurable way (so it can be enabled or disabled as required), we may want to consider only hiding those functions that overload std. JavaScript behaviors instead of the entire libs.

            A workaround for impacted applications may be to have them load the Scriptaculous or Prototype libs themselves, if required, although this would necessitate modifying their pages which basically breaks our backwards compatibility policy for a maintenance release.

                This is basically the same task as was completed for ICEfaces 2.0 under ICE-5844, but applied to the icefaces/trunk for EE P02.

                Another driver for doing this in EE P02 is that there are reports that Liferay 6.x will not work with ICEfaces 1.8.2 currently due to these JS collisions. See http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-11469 for details.

                Not applicable for 1.8.2, this has been applied for 2.0.
