I use IntelliJ for wicket development, and for the most part am pretty happy with it.

When I make a change, I do a build, and IntelliJ asks if I want to redeploy the application. If I haven't changed any java method signatures, I click 'no' and my HTML changes and java changes are live.

That said, there are a few caveats. Sometimes things seem a little weird after doing a hot swap, particularly persistent objects. But the biggie:

There's a checkbox in the redeploy dialog saying "don't ask me again". If you check this, there's no way to bring back this dialog, and your app will be redeployed every time you do a build! The solution is to quit intellij and manually edit your .ipr file. Remove the line that says

    <option name="DEPLOY_AFTER_MAKE" value="1" />

I've just mustered up the effort to submit a feature request on this to jetbrains.

I strongly recommend you get the WicketForge IntelliJ plugin as well, it's quite helpful for identifying wicket:id attribtues in your HTML file which don't match a component in your java file.

Hello.

I was wondering the same thing. I also came across a page that might answer
the question as well:

Good luck,

are you configuring wicket in development mode or in deployment mode?
in development mode wicket will reload changed resources like html and
.properties files automatically.

Hi,

   Excuse me for my ignorance, but my team just started to play with
Wicket
and I am having a hard time with it.
My problem is that I am used to changing the HTML of a page, getting it just right. So in the process of developing a page I may review changes to
it many many times.    Add a div here, add a div there and review the
changes.
Now, if I make changes using the wicket framework, at least in intelliJ it
seems that I have to reinitialize the server. If I have to reinit the
server
for every little html change I feel that my productivity goes to 0 and
frustration to 100!

What am I missing?

Thanks.
