Request for comments/trying out stuff...

It is not published yet to quarkiverse, so you need to build it yourself for now.

gh repo clone dashorst/quarkus-wicket && cd quarkus-wicket && mvn install

and then you can craft your first quarkus & wicket application using the quarkus commandline:

quarkus create app --maven --java=21 --code --extensions=io.quarkiverse.wicket:quarkus-wicket:999-SNAPSHOT org.acme:acme

Check it out and let me know wydt!

So I have almost finished a working 1.0 quarkus extension for #ApacheWicket

I am trying to get the codestart to put an html file in a package folder structure. When that is done, it should work for starting to discover what a quarkus and wicket combination has for limitations and possibilities.

When you can generate a working wicket quarkus app it's time to weite some docs etc and release it to a grander audience.

See https://github.com/dashorst/quarkus-wicket for the code.

Probably when I arrive at internationalization I will be screaming for #ApacheWicket. For now working with quarkus + qute templates feels a lot like developing a Model 2 web application from 2004.

Nothing makes you appreciate #ApacheWicket more than having to implement a data table with paging, dynamic sorting, dynamic columns and dynamic filtering.

As a #Java developer, do you really need frontend #JavaScript frameworks? Why would you not just stick to Java and use one of the many great libraries that are available for it? Join Martijn Dashorst and @marcushellberg, and @frankdelporte on the Foojay #podcast!

For the next Friends of OpenJDK (Foojay.io) @foojay #Podcast, I talked with @marcushellberg (#Vaadin) and Martijn Dashorst (#ApacheWicket) about web development with #Java, including #Thymeleaf and #htmx. Do you really need a JavaScript framework? Why would you not just stick to Java and use one of its many great libraries?

Cutting the cake: Wicket in Action book launch party in 2008 at Topicus.

PSA: If you use Eclipse, and develop #ApacheWicket applications, you really should install the qwickie plugin. Make sure you get the 1.2.0 version though.
