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.

Apache Wicket 1.3.0-beta3 is released!

This release is the third 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.

Migrating from 1.2

If you are coming from Wicket 1.2, you really want to read our migration guide, found on the wiki.

Apache Wicket has graduated!

The Wicket project has officially joined the Apache Software Foundation. In the Board meeting of June 20th, 2007 the Apache Board established the Apache Wicket project. We've now (2007-07-27) moved our infrastructure, including SVN and user-list, to their new top level project locations.
