+/**
+ * If this annotation is present on a {@link ClientConnector} class, the
+ * framework ensures the referenced JavaScript files are loaded before the init
+ * method for the corresponding client-side connector is invoked.
+ * <p>
+ * Absolute URLs including protocol and host are used as is on the client-side.
+ * Relative urls are mapped to APP/CONNECTOR/[url] which are by default served
+ * from the classpath relative to the class where the annotation is defined.
+ * <p>
+ * Example: {@code @JavaScript( "http://host.com/file1.js", "file2.js"})} on the
+ * class com.example.MyConnector would load the file http://host.com/file1.js as
+ * is and file2.js from /com/example/file2.js on the server's classpath using
+ * the ClassLoader that was used to load com.example.MyConnector.
