Hi,
I think you have misread the title of the original mail which is about a
book, "Wicket in Action", and not about Wicket itself. That said, I
agree when you say that for Wicket might be difficult to find plugin and
integration libraries available out of the box. That's because Wicket is
completely lead on a voluntary base and it's not backed by any company.
But I completely disagree with your conclusion. Wicket remains highly
flexible and can be used to implement application of any size without
embrace the canonical JS development stack (npm, node, css compilers,
etc...) which I personally find overcomplex and overbloated to use. In
this regard a powerful tool to use with Wicket (and with many other Java
web frameworks) is project WebJar, which makes css/js libraries
integration quite easy: https://www.webjars.org.
Andrea.

Hey all
It is compact, has many functions and does its job well. If you
compare it with JSF, Vaadin it compares well.
Advantages:
- flexible
- Java + HTML > is ok
Disadvantages:
- modern plugins for Wicket: outdated and quite little.
- CSS Libs like Bootstrap: outdated and strong coupling (plugin)
- use of modern JS techniques + Wicket: difficult
Conclusion:
For medium sized sites working with Apache Wicket basic components and
using Java, HTML and Wicket JQuery > ok.
The development of modern JS applications Apache Wicket is (my
opinion) outdated. It very good flexible JS frameworks, more plugins,
lots of docs and examples. And the number of developers for modern JS
frameworks is huge!
In the end, I think Apache Wicket is past its prime and we are talking
about product maintenance here. I wouldn't develop new big projects
with Apache Wicket anymore. Here it is not the evaluation of the
framework, but the number of projects and the amount of developers
that matters.

If you are new to Apache Wicket it might be better starting with the

guide which is meant for a full introduction from scratch and is
updated.

Hi all,
Just wondering whether Wicket in Action is still relevant with all the
recent changes to Wicket? Can it be used to help a new developer
understand
Wicket?
