[fusion-users] Widget Functions.

[Alan Boudreault]

I just checked something... and i think you use the Fusion.require 
method in your sneRefreshMap definition file.
ie: Fusion.require(widgets/myRequiredWidget.js');

This will avoid to add extra unuseful information in the 
ApplicationDefinition.xml.

Regards,
Alan
