Matej, What are the implications of the decision to "base Wicket Ajax Next Generation on YUI" in terms of choosing a Javascript library for future Wicket based web front ends?
We too were tending towards jQuery, mainly because + code based on jQuery can be quite terse yet still easy to read and elegant. + it doesn't require any great Javascript expertise (in particular, no obvious cross-browser issues to worry about so far). + it's got a small footprint and seems to be fast enough, even using the (really useful) CSS selectors. + there's huge number and variety of jQuery plugins for those special occasions. + there's a big developer community/interest with plenty of reference material, blogs etc... + the lack of any licensing concerns. + it's really easy to use and it just works. Since you have no doubt carefully looked at the options and chosen YUI as the most appropriate for Wicket 1.5 (or, shall we just call it Wicket 5), and having seen the magic you have performed with your inmethod grids, I imagine that most of the above can be said for YUI too, and then some. So ... would it make more sense to start preferring YUI for use in new Wicket applications or will it not make any real difference which Javascript library is used by the application developer?
