Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov resolved WICKET-6855.
-----------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Do
> Request: Provide separate wicket-api.jar for interfaces
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-6855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6855
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Matt Pavlovich
> Priority: Minor
>
> Providing a separate wicket-api.jar would provide benefit for web application
> developers and web frameworks that are built on top of wicket by providing a
> clean separation of concerns.
> # All public interfaces into a org.apache.wicket.api.* package (IPage,
> IPanel, etc)
> # All internal interfaces into a org.apache.wicket.spi.* package (page
> stores, serializers, etc)
> This allows for a single-jar dependency for Wicket's framework and extension
> layers. The current packaging co-locates interfaces and implementations into
> the same packages, which also prevents the ability to repackage a
> distribution of Wicket that had interfaces broken out.
> Similar patterns followed in other open source projects:
> apache log4j2-api
> apache camel-api
> etc..
