My pleasure :) I hope some people enjoying using the useful stuff in there
and I hope we get some useful contributions to add to the collection.. I'm
sure it will evolve over time as I use it more in our company as well.
hmm, faster to write yes, but i don't think faster performing. Definitely
more refactor safe with the Fodel that's for sure! And it'll be even better
once the IDE support gets there...
Yes, everyone's really waiting for the IDE support. 2.8 should be out in
September/October which promises a new eclipse plugin with far superior
functionality, stability and reliability.
P.s., to quickly try out the Wicket Extensions, either add the wicketstuff
repo to your settings.xml, or install the archetype from source, and run:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.wicketstuff.scala
-DarchetypeArtifactId=wicket-scala-archetype -DgroupId=com.sharca
-DartifactId=scalawicket-archetypetest -DarchetypeVersion=1.4-SNAPSHOT
Check out the sample app and spec tests for other possible uses.
Cheers,
Antony.
