Just like what I said, "I can't find any usecase to make a Dreamweaver
extensions for Wicket."
Who from your team do you expect will use Dreamweaver? The page authors,
right? Page authors who are working with the markup concerns only the
wicket:id attribute and some wicket tags. Databinder or something? Wicket is
not JSF or JSP. The good thing about wicket is that it's so easy to insert
wicket components into the markup by putting only the "wicket:id" and some
few wicket tags into the wicket markups that make it so Dreamweaver-friendly
and page authors-friendly.
Just my 2 centavos.

I agree that a Dreamweaver extension for Wicket may seem useless or
overkill
if you are a Java developer. Developers prefer vi over DW, I suppose. But
then ( Java ) developers usually don't excel in designing websites ( have
a
look at http://www.csszengarden.com/ to see what designers can do without
even touching html, let alone if you give them the freedom to change html
as
well ). The explanation is probably that designers are better in
communicating with end-users than developers are.
I strongly propose seperating design ( including coding html and css ) and
technical work from architectural design to coding Java. But I am getting
off-topic, to the point: a Dreanweaver extension for Wicket.
I am thinking of... ( in order of increasing complexity )
#1 The tool should communicate clearly which components the Wicket
framework
has to offer, what they do and how they should be used.
#2 The tool should take care of coding wicket:id attributes everywhere,
either real-time or as a sort of pre-compile before handing over to the
Java
team.
#3 The tool should validate code and naming style.
#4 There should be an option to temporarily replace data components with
dummy data.
#5 A utility to "wicket-ize" existing sites. It should be possible to
automatically generate the .html part of an existing ( data driven )
website.
I am always open to other ideas...
I am currently studying Wicket / Databinder as a follow-up of a selection
project. The product of my study will be a small site including a set of (
customized ) how to's for developing wicket pages. I'll try to develop a
Dreamweaver extension as well covering #1, #2 and if time permits #3 and /
or #4. I have to dive into DW but if I remember well there is similar
stuff
for PHP templating so it shouldn't be too hard.
I'll let you know when I have to something which I can show.
