Welcome to Apache Wicket

With proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable components written with plain Java and HTML.

Community meetings

The Wicket community is a very active community. The mailing lists and the irc channel are proof of that. But for those that prefer face to face meetings, several community members have organized meetups.
