for me there are two cool aspects to wicket-bench:
1) refactor support - if you rename a class that extends Component it
will find any matching .html and .properties file and rename those
also

2) editor - wicketbench replaces java editor with a tabbed editor that
lets you quickly switch between java/html/properties files when you
open a class that extends Component. very handy.

however, it does have its problems. eclipse' java editor is not built
with embedding in mind, so once you start using (2) you will miss out
on such useful things as "mark occurences", double clicking the left
border to set a breakpoint ( right clicking still works ), ctrl
clicking into a class wont always work, etc.

i think the idea is awesome, too bad eclipse makes it so hard to implement :(
