I think "deps" is missing
steal.config("shim",{
"widgets/mywidget1.js" : {
deps: ["jquery"]
}
});
If you want to do it in index.html
// index.html
<script type="text/javascript">
steal = {
shim : {
"widgets/mywidget1.js" : {
deps: ["jquery"]
}
};
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="steal.js"></script>
