[Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
Dear community,Several users have requested our vision on what to do next now 1.2 is out. After several months of hard work for getting 1.2 out of the door and thinking about what next, the core contributors have come to the following roadmap. We asked you previously about what the future should hold regarding Java 5 and the constructor change (search on gmane to learn more about that one). The votes weren't conclusive, so we could go into any direction. So we figured we could go with a quicky for the constructor change (1.3) and then move onwards to 2.0. This was the sentiment a couple of months ago. Now that we had some time to think it through, we feel that we should not do a quick constructor change release. This would mean supporting 3 - 4 framework versions: ( 1.1), 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0.You can build great applications using Wicket 1.2 and we think that we will be supporting 1.2 for quite a while. Many components will be created and additional packages upgraded to Wicket 1.2 . This warrants a stable 1.2 version for a long time. The constructor change, although necessary for future development, will break a lot of stuff.Considering that we have a small team, and can only support so much, we don't see a future in supporting 1.2, 1.3 (constructor + java 1.4) and 2.0 (constructor + java 5). Therefore we have come to the conclusion that our roadmap should look like the following:Wicket 2.0 - non backportable features: - constructor change - Java 5 - other features and components, such as convertor API simplificationWicket 1.2.x/1.3 - backported features from 2.0 branch - new components and features (will be available on 2.0 as well) - *no* major api changes, such as the constructor change. Minor changes to improve the life of the component developer may take place (backport of convertor simplification) Wicket 1.2.x releases will be drop-in compatible and contain minor additions, and of course bug fixes, no changes to existing API's unless warranted by a blocking bug.If it's felt appropriate, a Wicket 1.3 release will be made, combining the 1.2 branch with selected backports from the 2.0/core branch. If this occurs, the 1.2.x branch will enter maintenance-mode, i.e. supported for bug fixes only.To summarize: even though a lot of development will focus on Wicket 2.0, Wicket 1.2 is not an end station. We will continue to provide support and to evolve that branch. As for a time table: - wicket 2.0 is scheduled somewhere at the end of the coming summer - wicket 1.2.1 is scheduled in about 1-3 weeks - wicket 1.3 is not scheduled yet. - the Wicket team

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
The difference between these two changes is though, that people can always 'fix' their code to work with the constructor change, but they might not be able to move to Java 5 due to external factors (ie they can't run on a platform with Java 5 support).

I agree with Justin, if you are already introducing a break, put them all into 1 release. Let's say you break the constructors (I'm sorry I'm not farmiliar exactly with what was refactored) and then a certain number of people re-normalize ontop of it, then you break it all over again for Java 5, just break it all at once.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
If we do this (java5 and constructor change at once)Then we need to support 2 really different versions1.2 like it is now and a pretty much changed wicket by internals (constructor) and java5.If we don't we only really have to support 1.3 and 2.0 but those wickets are pretty much the same except 1.5 features like generics.That does merge much easier.But maybe if retroweaver or translater works right then we could use that for supporting 1.4 people a bit more.johanOn 2/17/06, Jesse Sightler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I tend to agree... could we perhaps have another thread for a formal vote?

Hey, What about RFE 1249933? It would be really useful to have more formal CSS/JS support in Wicket such that we can use them as markup files and insert dynamic elements. We can currently hack this though without formal support there is no previewability and it's definitely harder to maintain. Gili --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Yeah, that would mean supporting 1.2 and 1.3 as branches. 2.0 would be HEAD. For us it would be way less work if we'd move to 1.2 directly.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
So, if we wrap up this thread, I think this is roughly the outcome: Most people are +1 on the JDK 5 move. About half (not an exact count) think we should do do it in one release, the others think seperately is a better idea. I think having seperate releases (1.3. for the constructor change, 2.0 for JDK 5) makes sense as people that are +1 for having it in one release can just skip 1.3. and having the same effect. Only thing for us is that we have to support both 1.2 and 1.3. Eelco --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Atomic != threadsafe. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity. Either a component's construction completes including the parents it is added, or not. One of the side effects of the add method is that the hierarchical position of the component is postponed until it is added to a parent, and even then the action is not complete, as those components might still need to be added to their parents. > > 2) an exception thrown from a constructor will prevent the object from > > being created (security) > > Correct me if I'm wrong (you probably know more about this issue than > me) but isn't the real security concern whether or not the Component may > be rendered as opposed to whether or not it may be constructed?

If you want to tighten things up and force users of your class to provide it's dependencies at construction time, requiring constructor arguments is a robust technique. This is not a new concept, and even has been one of the main battle arguments in the constructor vs property dependency IoC camp. We don't have to join that discussion though, as we are not building a managed IoC framework. > > 4) constructors insure the proper order of creation. you cant have > > things like.

As we want component creation and setting of parents to be atomic, we are not merely binding. A component floating into space has problems, particalarly if you depend on its place in the hierarchy in the constructor. This is not just theory.

No 'we' (the committers) decided on using the constructor pattern and were asking you about your opinion as to when this should be implement. Or actually, whether this change should be made together with the move to JDK 5. Here is what Martijn asked: The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following: - should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes? - should we make different releases for either change, and thus postponing 1.5 to Wicket 3? - how many of you still require for current or future projects to run on JDK 1.4? - how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
+1 For both changes.
The constructor refactor would make my code neater and easier to read.
Java 1.5 support would be fantastic, it's been a while since I came
across any company that didn't support 1.5, even the large ones that are
akin to an ocean liners. There must be very few companies left out there
that *on request* refuse to update their JRE.

Martijn Dashorst wrote:
All,
We are of course very busy finalizing Wicket 1.2, and we /really/ hope
to get it done soon. This will benefit everyone. So I want to take a
look beyond 1.2 and try to get some opinions on our roadmap, and
adjust where appropiate.
There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
Thanks for your answers,

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
You have a big problem when a class depends on the behavior of a sub-class during construction time. This is because sub-classes are initialized after the initialization of the base-class. When there is no dependency, there is no problem. So, although I recognize Gili's point in general, I think Johan is right here: just passing the thing can't be a serious problem. Erik.

I'm sure that won't be perfect for some people, but I think it is
reasonable to cut over now and keep a 1.2 version as a maintenance

All,
We are of course very busy finalizing Wicket 1.2, and we /really/ hope
to get it done soon. This will benefit everyone. So I want to take a
look beyond 1.2 and try to get some opinions on our roadmap, and
adjust where appropiate.
There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this,
"foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is
necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I
understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of
you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only
support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we
have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5
Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
Thanks for your answers,
Martijn

Hi,
The main trunk of TestNG (http:/testng.org/) is JDK 1.5 source base. Still we are able to release it
for JDK1.4. The trick is simple: a compiler flag. There is still some small restriction: the code
should not use JDK1.5-only API. If you can avoid this, than I can definitely pass you the details of
how you can build/compiler JDK1.5 source code to be compatible on priori JVMs.

look beyond 1.2 and try to get some opinions on our roadmap, and
adjust where appropiate.
There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
Thanks for your answers,
Martijn

Not everyone will be happy with it, but we'll have avery decent version out with 1.3 which we should support for a longtime (by which I mean bug fixing, not so much back porting newfeatures).Moving to 1.5 will eleminate a few of the weak features we still haveand can't fix. As Wicket is all about Java code and strong typing, it sucks we can't have that strong typing in one of our major conceptsyet - the model. With generics we can have this. I think that alone isworth the move, and as a lot of other frameworks - either for UI stuff or other purposes - already moved to 1.5, I don't think it is tooearly.

to 1.5 has many advantages and while it sucks for those left on 1.4 (or
god forbid 1.3!) we can't keep dragging our feet for stragglers.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
After reading everybody's posts and thinking what I myself would want to
have in future wicket releases:
JDK 1.5 support is here for too long not to have it in. I know it's
tough for the people who need to deploy on 1.4 in the future but Os is
supposed to drive innovation. How to do it if wicket doesn't get all the
marvels as generics and annotations in 1.5 while JDK 1.6 is almost beta
? It's gone too far :-), it's just my oppinion, please don't take it as
a critique, it's not. I just believe that in the end 1.5 will bring a
lot more good than bad to wicket users. And I suggest for us/others who
will need 1.4 to use a "retrotranslated"
(http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/ is alive and kicking, is
actively developed in contrast to retroweaver, and people report good
experiences with it) version of a Wicket for JDK 1.5.

All,
We are of course very busy finalizing Wicket 1.2, and we /really/ hope
to get it done soon. This will benefit everyone. So I want to take a
look beyond 1.2 and try to get some opinions on our roadmap, and
adjust where appropiate.
There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
preferable not
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
I'm the fortunate one, I can choose the paltform in the majority of my
company's projects. so go jdk1.5. I'm running 1.4 code on it anyway.
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
If it passes all the tests I believe it's acceptable.
Thanks for your answers,
Thanks a lot wicket team for your efforts. It feels bad not having the
time and skills to get involved in development.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
Java 5 support would be a really big plus
(esp. with tools like Retrotranslator and Retroweaver) for me as well.
We've tried Retroweaver with our desktop applications and it failed
completely for non-trivial stuff. A few days ago I've tried
Retrotranslator (did not know about it before) and so far I'm very happy
with it and not had any crash.

I'm sure that won't be perfect for some people, but I think it is
reasonable to cut over now and keep a 1.2 version as a maintenance
branch.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
having 1.3 with constructor change and fixes and maybe one or 2 things more (ajax related) looks fine to meand then 2.0 with java 5 support.I will then try to backport most wanted features and bug fixes if possible because i can't use
1.5 because manymany customers don't run 1.5 on there servers. And i think that will be so for the comming year. So my focus willthen be on 1.3.XjohanOn 2/14/06,

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
+1 for the Constructor refactoring to 1.3 +1 for Java 1.5 ASAP! I see more and more momentum for 1.5 out amongst our customers and the switch is going on already as more and more realise that it's really not such a scary move. And the fringing faces of the few bound to 1.4 should be weighted to the awe of all not-yet-wicketeers when they discover this extraterrestially excellent framework!

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
We are starting a Wicket project, we use JDK 1.4 because our old software can't run on 1.5. It's a problem, to move to 1.5, but we will eventually do it. But will take a few years. So I vote for waiting with Java 1.5 until Wicket version 3.0.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
Thanks for all the great work and fantastic support!! Here are my preferences, but whatever you decide, I'm behind you. > The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following: > > - should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes? Personally, I prefer the idea of smaller steps... > - should we make different releases for either change, and thus > postponing 1.5 to >Wicket 3? Regardless of the numbering, I would prefer to see successive releases, rather than having two major changes in the same release. I support the idea of renewing the api, even if it does cause breakage. That's the price to pay for having a lean, clean framework. However, moving to Java1.5 is another story. It's not just a matter of some refactoring of the code that uses Wicket, but has much larger implications. Being forced to update to 1.5 affects other projects and is not necessarily trivial, albeit necessary. Please consider doing these steps separately. > - how many of you still require for current or future projects to run > on JDK 1.4? I do. But I think the proposal of releasing the constructor change first and keeping that release as a "legacy" release (including bug fixes) for use with Java1.4 is an excellent proposal. That is by far my choice! > - how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, > which >enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE? Personally, I'm not really keen on having to introduce something like that into my code. I'd much rather having a Wicket 1.3 that doesn't include all the latest and greatest features, but does the job. Cheers, Dave --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
+1 on Java 5 sooner. for one thing, we can't fold the authentication package into the core until we adopt it. for another, the lack of typesafe models is something we ought to remedy as soon as we possibly can. so i like the idea of doing 1.3 VERY quickly (JUST the constructor change and associated ajax work over a few short weeks) and then immediately have HEAD for 2.0 be Java 5 based. and i'd like us to get 2.0 out pretty quickly too so that WIA can include stuff about typesafe models and so forth.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
I have no personal experience with retrowaever. However, there are many success stories on the internet. I have at least one colleague that used it without problems. If I understand correctly, there is one slight drawback: you can not use the new java 5 APIs (like StringBuilder and java.util.concurrent). However, you do get all the new language stuff: generics, extended for loops, static imports, autoboxing/unboxing, varargs, enumerations and annotations. But since the move to java 5 is all about generics and not about API's I would say: go for both! Regards, Erik.

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
All,
I am for 1.5. I am in the happy situation where I have complete control
over deployment of my apps. Not everyone is. I would rather have it
sooner than later, but if it's best for the community as a whole, I am
glad to wait until after the Constructor refactoring. Just not too much
after. :-)
Should I find myself in the position of supporting < jdk 1.5, I'd give
retroweaver a try. Whether I use it would depend on how well it works,
of course.
Thanks,

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
I am sorry,i forget the time for 2.0 release. But I still have doubt about one year is enough. I never used Retrotranslator and other retroweaver tools.I am not sure it can run in different jdk with problems.So i avoid it. Stick with the old version is not bad, we seldom change the version for consistence. The last sentence is my fault.There is a wrong word "projects" insteadof "objects".

There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and _javascript_. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how

move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
Seems to me you guys are quickly running out of things to work on.
Might I humbly suggest you schedule RFE #1228367 for the next release?
On a related note, I believe RFE #1167649 can be closed as fixed.
Thanks,

There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
Thanks for your answers,
Martijn

Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
Here is my opinions:>> - should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?Absolutely not.I support the constructor change ,because it force the programmer to do in a right way.I don't want wicket support JDK1.5 soon.I know generics can bring many benefits.But there is a long time before most of us move to JDK1.5.Some projects from my clients are stilling run on JDK1.4 even JDK1.3.One year ,at least, is necessary for waiting.My clients would just move to JDK1.4 easily,because they need to pay a lot of money and not sure the old software can move to the new JDK easily. >>- should we make different releases for either change, and thus postponing 1.5 to Wicket 3?No, one version is enough. Wicket2 or wicket3 are not important.I think if you move to JDK1.5 too soon.You will lose many users.It's not good for wicket.Wicket still has a long way to go.>>- how many of you s till require for current or future projects to run on JDK 1.4?In fact,this question is suitable.Most time,the clients choose the platform,instead of us.Many clients are running different jdk, I can't predict. But for you,i would prefer JDK1.4.>> - how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?I never try to do that. 无限容量雅虎相册，原图等大下载，超快速度，赶快抢注！
Re: [Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
I'm completely in favor of jumping to Wicket 2.0 and implementing both
of these changes with it. Java 5 support would be a really big plus
(esp. with tools like Retrotranslator and Retroweaver) for me as well.
I'm sure that won't be perfect for some people, but I think it is
reasonable to cut over now and keep a 1.2 version as a maintenance
branch.

I agree with Igor that we should move to 1.5, and don't wait for a year to do it. Not everyone will be happy with it, but we'll have a very decent version out with 1.3 which we should support for a long time (by which I mean bug fixing, not so much back porting new features). Moving to 1.5 will eleminate a few of the weak features we still have and can't fix. As Wicket is all about Java code and strong typing, it sucks we can't have that strong typing in one of our major concepts yet - the model. With generics we can have this. I think that alone is worth the move, and as a lot of other frameworks - either for UI stuff or other purposes - already moved to 1.5, I don't think it is too early. We are already a year further since our first 1.5 discussions. Eelco --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Wicket-user] Post 1.2 roadmap
All,
We are of course very busy finalizing Wicket 1.2, and we /really/ hope
to get it done soon. This will benefit everyone. So I want to take a
look beyond 1.2 and try to get some opinions on our roadmap, and
adjust where appropiate.
There are two very big things ahead of us:
- constructor refactor
we have reached a limit to the support we want to provide
for Ajax and javascript. In order to provide the best support
we need to know the markup id before it is available. Many
have been bitten by trying to retrieve an attribute from a
component tag in the page constructor.
We want to remedie this by removing the add() method,
and replacing it with an extra parameter in the component
constructor, which sets the parent of the component.
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer("foo");
c.add(new TextField("bar1"));
c.add(new Label("bar2"));
c.add(new Label("bar3"));
add(c);
}
will become:
public MyPage() {
WebMarkupContainer c = new WebMarkupContainer(this, "foo");
new TextField(c, "bar1");
new Label(c, "bar2");
new Label(c, "bar3");
}
This opens up a lot of better markup parsing strategies for the
core. We know this is a major API break, but we feel it is necessary
to implement it in order to move Wicket forward.
- java 5 support
This is something a lot of people are waiting for. I understand that
many people want, Igor states /need/, Java 5 support in Wicket.
There is also a negative side to this. Some, or even many of you,
can't move to java 1.5 as a server platform. We don't know how
many users this affects. Please give a response when you can't
move to 1.5. As Wicket is a volunteer effort, we can only support
so many projects. Supporting both a 1.4 and 1.5 project will
drain our resources too far, and won't be possible. So we have to
make a choice.
The questions I'm seeking answers to are the following:
- should the post 1.2 version of Wicket involve both changes?
- should we make different releases for either change, and thus
postponing 1.5 to
Wicket 3?
- how many of you still require for current or future projects to run
on JDK 1.4?
- how many would object to having a retroweaver build of a JDK 5 Wicket, which
enables you to run 1.5 code on a 1.4 JRE?
Thanks for your answers,
