What is Wicket?

Wicket is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level. Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Dynamic content processing and form handling is all handled in Java code using a first-class component model backed by POJO data beans that can easily be persisted using your favourite technology.

• Try Brix demo - a CMS based on Apache Wicket and Apache Jackrabbit
• Live CD App example from wicket-contrib module

What is Wicket-Library?

Just as a public library is full of books, we hope Wicket-Library will become a repository for components that augment Wicket's core functionality and tools which support Wicket development.
Wicket 1.4.15 has been released recently and 1.5 will be available soon.
