I want to include jQueryUI in my backbone.js app using RequireJS. The main.js file included in my index.html is as follows:

require.config({
    paths: {

While kujakettu's answer is at least partially correct I also had to specify jQuery as a dependancy in my shim to be sure jQuery was loaded before jQuery-UI.

e.g.

require.config({
    baseUrl: 'scripts/modules',
    paths:{
        jquery:'../libs/jquery',
        jqueryUI:"../libs/jquery-ui",
        underscore:'../libs/underscore',
        backbone:'../libs/backbone'
    },
    shim: {
        jqueryUI: {
            deps: ['jquery']
        },
        underscore: {
            exports: '_'
        },
        backbone: {
            deps: ["underscore", "jquery"],
            exports: "Backbone"
        },
        waitSeconds: 15
    }
});
