15 July 2008 - Apache Wicket 1.4-m3 Now Available

2008-07-15T06:06:26+00:00

Help the Apache Wicket team to determine the future of your Wicket based web application development. We have released our third and hopefully final milestone release of our Java 5 based web framework and are anxious to receive feedback on our use of generics. A significant change from the earlier Wicket 1.4 milestone versions is that Component is no longer generified. This means that Component and most of its subclasses in Wicket do not take a class-level type parameter. Some Component subclasses remain generified, such as Link, Form, FormComponent, ListView, etc. You can read more details regarding these changes here: * http://wicket.apache.org/wicket-14-m3-news.html * http://www.nabble.com/generics-to18083910.html#a18083910 We feel that this might provide a good middle ground between being unable to add typing to IModel on one hand and a proliferation of unneeded typing information on modelless components on the other hand. Your feedback is appreciated! Download Wicket 1.4-m3 now and help us decide whether to tone down, remove or increase the application of Java 5 generics to our API. We have started the discussion on the user mailing list: * http://www.nabble.com/users%2C-please-give-us-your-opinion%3A-what-is-your-take-on-generics-with-Wicket-td17589984.html Eager people click here to download the distribution, others can read further: * http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.4-m3 We thank you for your patience and support. -- The Wicket Team === Apache Wicket === Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework.

20 June 2007 - Apache Software Foundation established three new Top Level Projects

2007-06-20T22:18:09+00:00

The Apache Software Foundation has established three new Top Level Projects (TLP) - Apache Quetzalcoatl, Apache Wicket, and Apache Commons.

Apache Quetzalcoatl: this springs mod_python and related bits out of the Apache HTTP Server project into its own TLP. Gregory Trubetskoy is the first Chair.
Apache Wicket: this is a light webapp framework for Java, graduating from the Apache Incubator into its own TLP. Martijn Dashorst is the first Chair.
Apache Commons: this is the venerable Apache Jakarta Commons, now spun out into its own TLP, with Torsten Curdt as its Chair.
