Hi Korbinian,
If we take the core of Drupal without its CMS modules, it is more a Web
applications framework than anything. Look at Form, Theme and Data Access APIs.
It is really amazing!
Plus, I'm not talking about porting Drupal to Java, I'm talking about learning
from them.
As I had understood from 'Wicket in Action', Wicket is about bringing the fun
of developing desktop applications to the Web. That why I'm talking about
learning from Eclipse platform, plugins and RCP.
Hi Ahmed,
I don't want to lose you as a Wicket user but you may want to check
that: http://www.eclipse.org/rap

Drupal will server as a case study howto convert that from the desktop area to
the Web area.
Cheers,

Drupal is a CMS similar to Typo3 & co while wicket is a Java Web
Framework, similar in term to what Zend Framework is to PHP. So they
share nothing real in common - or did I get you wrong?
there has been a CMS called Kronos based on wicket but I dont know what
happened to it.

First of all, I'm very happy to find this framework... guys you are doing a
great job...
Guys I'm very new to Wicket, so correct me if I'm wrong:
I think we can make use of the approach used by Drupal... I've been using it
for while now... and believe me... it worth to watch... IMHO, they have two
problems, GPL and PHP :(
have a look on their APIs (http://api.drupal.org/api/5)... very clean ... very simple... and yet very powerful...
On Java world we can learn from Eclipse guys... if anyone of you have written
an eclipse based application, he should notice how clean and powerful it is.
If we managed to build such a architecture... something like BodyPart, BoxPart,
MenuBar.... something like Web Widget Tools (WWT) and ContentProvider... I
think that would be revolutionary!
