Hi all, For the past few weeks, and especially the last few days, Hielke Hoeve and I have been working on improvements to resource management in Wicket. Most of the improvements are based on work in WiQuery, but the actual implementation is from scratch. The targets for the improvements can be found in WICKET-4273. In short, it boils down to following points: - Dependency support for resources - Sorting of resources in the header - Native resource bundle support in Wicket - Aggregating many small scripts into 1 large script tag, esp. for events
The target for these changes will be Wicket 6 and the work in progress can be found on github: https://github.com/papegaaij/wicket/compare/trunk...wicket%2Bwiquery At the moment, all features, except the resource bundles are implemented and working. Documentation is still missing on most places. I've also not yet come to writing tests and an example on how to use it. Please provide your feedback on the code, here on the mailing list or at JIRA. Note to Jeremy: I deleted some of the code you contributed to Wicket 1.5 because there was a large overlap in functionality, and it proved difficult to keep the old code working as is. It would be great if you could shed some light on what the exact problem was, you were trying to solve with that code, so I can make sure that it can also be solved with this new approach. Best regards, Emond Papegaaij
