  • Add the Wicket Subversion repository - Navigate to Window > Show Perspective > Other... > SVN Repository Exploring (eclipse uses the term perspective to mean a collection of views, and a view is one single panel with some specific function like the navigator view or the editor view) In the SVN Repositories tab on the left, right click > New > Repository Location... and paste in the repository url: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket
  • Checkout the code - Click on the new Repository and navigate to: trunk > right click > checkout as maven project. Some serious churning will now occur as you download of Wicket source, and then maven crawls the internet for all the required libraries. Seriously, go for a stroll in the sunshine; the checkout and build took about 6minutes on my machine, and thats without maven needing to download anything.

Building Wicket

  • The good news, all that waiting wasn't in vain, as you should now have a fully checked out, dependency managed, built, possibly working, Wicket code base. You can sanity test it by running the unit tests (how?)
    or building a quickstart. (more)

Proving a bug exists
