Description
The AMD instructions for using jQuery UI (https://learn.jquery.com/jquery-ui/environments/amd/) assume that you have a whole bunch of separate files, one for each jQuery UI component (autocomplete.js, dialog.js, etc.).
However, jQuery UI doesn't come packaged that way (maybe it's possible with the download builder, but the instructions on the page I linked go out of their way to say that the download builder shouldn't be needed). Instead, it comes with a single file for the entire library (jquery-ui.js).
Could you please update these instructions to reflect the single file nature of today's jQuery UI, or else explain on those instructions where one needs to go to get the special AMD version of jQuery UI (ie. the one with separate files for each component). I'm hoping the former is possible, as having to keep a separate file for each component doesn't seem like the best idea performance-wise.
Thanks!

Research direction
Read the AMD instructions at https://learn.jquery.com/jquery-ui/environments/ and compare them with the issue's description of the distributed jquery-ui.js file. Update the instructions to reflect the single-file package, or explain where to obtain the separate AMD component files; done means the documented setup matches an available jQuery UI distribution.
