I would be very happy if there where some tutorial on how to build a simple component – step by step. This is good for people like me that have big interest in customize with xcelsius dashboard components – but are not very experienced.

I completely agree and in a perfect world that’s what we I’d prefer to see as well. Unfortunately, due to the scope of the technology and development, testing, QA and release cycles (i.e. the nature of the beast), I doubt we’ll ever see completely in-synch SDK evolutions.

I’d speculate that the reason the SDK is still on 2 is greatly due to technical reasons, project scope, and the fact that things are still getting dialed (i.e. fix packs and the sort) in for the Xcelsius 2008 product.

I know that the technical considerations for the SDK and overall product are far and wide, but with that said I’d still expect, and hope that a later version will be coming out in the not-too-distant future. 3 and 4 offer so many advantages, the more developer adoption the Xcelsius SDK sees, the more developers will be pushing for the latest and greatest. Hopefully we’ll soon hear news of a release, or at least news of an SDK lifecycle plan to indicate projected SDK release dates so we developers can plan and gear up accordingly.

I feel Flex SDK 2 is very old and Xcelsius SDK has to evolve parallel to Flex SDK. Now that Flex 4 is going to be out by the end of the year, SAP has to speed up to come up with new SDK.

What is the reason they are lagging? Is there a technical reason?
