The Wicket Team Apache Wicket Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework. With proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable components written with plain Java and HTML. Our migration to a top level project is now completed and you can find our website and documentation here: http://wicket.apache.org This release This release is the second in a series of release candidates releases until we feel confident to finalize Wicket 1.3. This is called a release candidate because we strive for API freeze. This means only bug fixes will be done on the 1.3 release from now on. But one "new" thing has sneaked into this release and that is a new design of the examples. This is done in association with the Google Highly Open Participation which Wicket is participating. http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/ Migrating from 1.2 If you are coming from Wicket 1.2, you really want to read our migration guide, found on the wiki: http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrate-13.html Downloading the release You can download the release from the official Apache mirror system, and you can find it through the following link: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-rc2/ For the Maven and Ivy fans out there: update your pom's to the following, and everything will be downloaded automatically: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId> <artifactId>wicket</artifactId> <version>1.3.0-rc2</version> </dependency> Substitute the artifact ID with the projects of your liking to get the other projects.
