yes Adam that's an option if you don't want to type jQuery. each time you uses something from the jQ Library. Hope everyone understands whats going on, here is a little explanation:

Adam tests if jQuery is a valid object and ready to use: if (jQuery)

If the is true he calls a self calling function and pases the jQuery Object. The function parameter name is the $. Within the function you have you're typical jQuery $ shortcut. (function($) { $.globalMethod(); $(selector).instanceMethod(); })(jQuery);

Thanks for for the snippet Adam.

It's not mine, it comes from tons of jquery extensions, and jquery itself. It might even be a recommended best practice, listed somewhere on their site.

Yes, there are other options as well
http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

What I wanted to say is to keep it as simple as possible: we use always
"jQuery(" inside OFBiz OOTB (it's not that much to type and I don't believe we spend much of our time typing) and people can continue to use
all the existing Prototype snippets and their own with $(

Anyway, I'm open to any other solutions...
