Though I prefer Eclipse *slightly* over Netbeans I think Sun is headed in the right direction when it comes to ease of initial setup, probably inspired by Visual Studio. I think most new users would find it easier to start w/ Netbeans for this reason. I'd be using it myself if the editor was as nice and feature-rich as eclipse.
What I'd never want to see is the monolithic consolidation of technologies, like Microsoft has; you get one choice for app server, web framework, etc. If Java ever gets *that* easy than we've lost the massive advantage of freedom of choice.
Anyhow, I might blog-up a little setup guide for new users for Windows and Linux using Wicket as the web framework. I'll try to do that this weekend as crunch-time will be over and I can breathe once again.
Anyone else there developing on Linux? I use Gentoo myself but I suppose the "majority" is probably using Ubuntu by now? Linux might be a tough one to please a lot of people as far as setting up the JDK (though this should get easier w/ the new license.)

Basically his problem seems to be this whole J2EE hell which has nothing to do with wicket - like creating a webapp directory with a valid structure, add web.xml and so on.. I suppose VGJ got the point and there most certainly is work to be done so building web apps in Java doesn't intimidate the hell out a of a Java novice.
