Does anyone have an answer to this question?

Are we permitted to download the latest EXTJS library (currently version 3.2) and use it under Adobe's OEM license (as we are with EXT 3.0 if using CF9)?

Who exactly told you that you are not able to use 3.2?

Coldfusion 9, like Ext JS 3.1, has just been launched. I should be patient and first gain experience with CF9 & Ext JS 3.0.

However, if you're still itching to go, don't let anyone stop you. Ext JS 3.1 comes with two types of license: a commercial(support) license and an open source GNU General Public License. You should therefore download the 'Ext JS 3.1.0 Public Release'. Be warned that you won't get any assistance if things go doink.

As to the question of upgrading Coldfusion 9's Ext version from 3.0 to 3.1, I would say, emphatically, don't! Leave Coldfusion 9's Ext library alone.

The people who make Coldfusion usually integrate external libraries into it in a tight fit. You run the risk of tearing something, if you attempt to re-tailor Coldfusion yourself.

There are other possibilities, though. Wherever you need Ext JS 3.1 in your application, you can just import it as you would any other Javascript library, using <script src="path_under_web_root_to_extFile.js">.

An example to illustrate. I downloaded the public-license version and extracted the ZIP file into the directory, C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\scripts\extJS31\, which I had created earlier. To test, I borrowed the 'Advanced Example' from danvega.org

Thanks for your reponse. i am planning

to use it as a seperate core library, not planing to replace the exiting extJS3.0.

My question was that the open source licence is applicable if i am using it for open source projects, so can i use it with CF9 for commercial project ?

Thanks

Planning to build a portal application like Web Desktop example showed on the site and another reason is that in 3.1 seems fixed the memory leaks on IE browsers.
