Getting Wicket

There are a couple of things to consider when downloading Wicket for your project. Do you use Maven? Do you need to run on Java 1.4?

Here's a matrix for picking the right Wicket version:

Wicket versions

Here's a small description of the different Wicket releases.

Wicket 1.2.5

Wicket 1.2.5 is our stable release and is available from SourceForge.net. This is often referred to as wicket-1.2.x

The Wicket 1.2.x releases are not endorsed by, approved by, nor affiliated with the Apache Software Foundation in any way.

Wicket 1.3

Wicket 1.3 is currently under development at the Apache Software Foundation, while inside the Incubator. When projects first move to Apache, they are housed at the Apache Incubator. The Incubator helps incoming projects migrate to the vibrant Apache community.

Currently there is no release available for Wicket 1.3. The only way to get at the code is to use our development snapshot releases, or build it yourself from subversion.

You can see the status of Wicket's incubation process on this page.

Getting Wicket using Maven

When you use Maven version 2, getting Wicket releases is very easy. For our stable release you can use the default maven repositories. For development snapshots you will need to specify our snapshot repository for maven to find the generated jar files.
