After a chat on the ##wicket Freenode IRC channel in the week with Igor, I offered to write a bit of documentation about getting Wicket up and running, simply.
I was planning to use some material Al Maw had shown us at one of our http://jWeekend.co.uk/dev/LWUGReg London Wicket User Group meetings, what is already available on the http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/ wiki , and http://manning.com/dashorst/ Martijn and Eelco's book for inspiration. As I was surfing around, I came across http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html this quickstart guide , which must be quite new. Along with http://wicket.apache.org/getting-wicket.html this it is exactly what we need, and importantly, they're both linked to from the http://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket homepage . If you follow the simple and short instructions, it just works (something you get quite accustomed to if you are already lucky enough to use Wicket on your projects). After doing what is described http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html here , I also tried mvn eclipse:eclipse from the myproject folder and imported the created project into Eclipse (I'm using the 3.3 release) and ran Start.java. I pointed my browser at http://localhost:8080/myproject/ and got the "Wicket Quickstart Archetype Homepage". That's it - up and running in no time and no fuss, ready to build a http://talks.londonwicket.org/FormsWithFlair.pdf shiny new Wicket app. Thanks to all those mentioned above, and above all, to those of you who have created a truly fantastic and great to use framework. I would not be happy to develop the web tier without it.
