I don't agree with that. You want the DataView, I want JasperReports and Dojo, and someone else wants some other project. The net effect would be a lot of dependencies for one download.
What we still should do is: * Make releases of the wicket-stuff projects. This has been on our radar for weeks now, but we keep on being bussy with other stuff (which is not very visible, but I can assure you working on a decent book proposal takes up a lot of time). All wicket-stuff committers can make file releases etc. It would help if anyone stepped up and did some of the work. * I have always been in favor of delivering a special distribution, which would include the wicket-core projects (wicket, wicket-extensions and wicket-examples) and some of the more popular wicket-stuff projects, like dataview. I'd like to stress the reasons for /not/ including projects like dataview in the core distribution: * Too many dependencies. We want to keep the number of dependencies of core as small as possible. * Too many classes will confuse people where to start looking for stuff; having it add-on packages will make their intention much clearer. * Not everyone agrees with the approach taken in project x, so they want to see project y shipped as well. Dataview was set up because people didn't agree do the code I initially contributed for doing database (Hibernate) stuff.
