move static factory methods off of HeaderContributer and onto related classes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-1192
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1192
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket
Reporter: Ryan Sonnek
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4.0-alpha
The "static utility" pattern of the HeaderContributor class should be improved
by moving the methods off of HeaderContributor and onto the relevant classes.
this is very important for long term "plugability" of the framework.
Currently, it is not possible for an external project like wicketstuff to add a
new HeaderContribution in this "standard/supported" wicket API. The wicket
FeedResource API is an example of this.
http://www.jroller.com/wireframe/entry/wicket_feedresource
for example, the method HeaderContributor.forJavascript() should move to
JavascxriptResource.headerContribution(). This API is much easier for
developers to discover by looking up the relevant class (JavascriptResource)
instead of digging through tutorials to find the "magical" HeaderContributor.
