Apache Wicket

Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework. 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.

Apache Wicket 1.3.0-rc1 is released!

Nov 11, 2007

This release is the first in a series of release candidates until we feel confident to finalize Wicket 1.3. This is called a release candidate because we strive for API freeze. This means only bug fixes will be done on the 1.3 release from now on.

Apache Wicket 1.3.0-beta4 is released!

Oct 11, 2007

This release is the fourth in a series of beta releases until we feel confident to finalize Wicket 1.3. This is called a beta because we haven't fixed all the bugs we intend to for 1.3, and probably haven't found them all either (can you ever be sure?). However, we are confident that most major API changes are in and therefore want to give you access to a more stable platform than depending on trunk.
