This prefix will be used for all wicket resources which may collide somehow with resources provided by other frameworks. See [WICKET-4211|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4211] h3. List of renamed classes and methods ... Full Content Migrating to Wicket 6.0 Environment Wicket 6.0 requires at least Java 6 Repeaters `IDataProvider` was converted to using `long` instead of `int` to better line up with JPA and other persistence frameworks. This has caused a rather large cascade of `int` to `long` changes all over the repeater packages (WICKET-1175). Form Processing Validation `DateValidator` no longer has static factory methods, use `new DateValidator(min,max)` instead `StringValidator` no longer has static factory methods, use `new StringValidator(min, max)` instead `StringValidator` will add the `maxlen` attribute if added to a component attached to an input tag `AbstractValidator` has been removed `ValidationError` now makes creating standard error keys (classname and classname.subtype) easier Most validators provide a `decorate(ValidationError, Validatable)` method for overriding how they report errors Ajax Use JQuery as a backing library for Wicket Ajax functionality Apache Wicket needed to improve the implementation of its _javascript_ libraries used for Ajax functionality (wicket-ajax.js and wicket-event.js) by using any of the bigger _javascript_ libraries and delegate to it the handling of the differences in the browsers (DOM, events, Ajax, ...). After a discussion in the mailing lists the Wicket team decided to use JQuery for that.

See WICKET-4211 List of renamed classes and methods Following the renames in subclasses is easier if the @Override annotations are present. IDE-s, like Eclipse, can be used to add missing @Override annotations before moving to wicket 6. Here's a table of deprecated classes and methods in Wicket 1.5 and the corresponding replacement in Wicket 6.
