I wouldn't discount Apache, look at how Struts took off, and look at the
Apache HTTP server, the most widely used server on the web. Apache may
not be a "big corporation" but they are a still a big name.

Hi,
IMHO on countries that invest heavily on R&D (new technologies) like
Germany, Netherlands, UK, USA, etc Wicket market is growing... and you can
find lots of Jobs posts asking for Wicket versed programmers.. See

:-(
As many other OpenSource projects its development depends largely on
volunteers and on companies willing to pay back with "employee time"
for maintenance/documentation. etc. So, there is no point on comparing with
frameworks backed by big players or "well established" frameworks.
At least in Spain my experience is that:
1- "I do not risk my ass" decision makers are a big obstacle for adoption:
they just want to hear about "big names backed software" or at least well
know/established software... so that, if development ins't going as
planned, it is not a problem of the framework selected.
2- Many programmers comming from Struts like frameworks background have big
problems in caching up with OOP required for Wicket and the "Wicket way".
3- Lack of a unified "place" where to find free/well-supported "commercial
quality" components doesn't help either when you want to sell wicket.

Hello,
Let's say that the most popular java web frameworks are Wicket, Tapestry,
GWT, Spring MVC.
Have you seen the graph ?

Other frameworks

What needs to be improved to get a wider adoption of Wicket ?
Best regards
