Re: Announcing: Scala-Wicket Extensions Project
Hi Antony, is there a website for the project with some documentation? You mention the specification files, but those aren't included in the SNAPSHOT release. So all I have are some not-so-useful SDocs, your hints here and a link to http://technically.us/code/x/the-escape-hatch, which doesn't help either. Also, when looking at the source files I see a lot of ⇒ icons, which my Eclipse just displays as a little rectangle. That makes it somewhat difficult to use those - could you stick with an ASCII charset?

Re: Announcing: Scala-Wicket Extensions Project
Not sure how I missed this response Sorry! No there isn't, there's only the source code, the sample app, the archetype and the specification tests. But creating the Wicketstuff page is in the list of things to do, but it's not that close to the front of the queue unfort. If someone else wants to take a crack by my guess! Or even get me started with a template and I can fill in some details... The spec files are in the test-jars, but I guess wicketstuff projects aren't configured to deploy their test jars. Best thing to do is download the source, and have a look at the sample app. You should also be able to use the archetype by using a variation of (taken from the README for the archetype): To use or test the archetype, run install, then either just run archetype:generate and select it from the list, or run a variant of: mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.wicketstuff.scala -DarchetypeArtifactId=wicket-scala-archetype -DgroupId=com.sharca -DartifactId=scalawicket-archetypetest -DarchetypeVersion=1.4-SNAPSHOT note, if you have the wicketsuff repo in your settings.xml, you probably won't have to install the archetype yourself. The link to Nathan's page was only to give credit for the Fodel where credit was due - not as a source of documentation. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Announcing: Scala-Wicket Extensions Project
My pleasure :) I hope some people enjoying using the useful stuff in there and I hope we get some useful contributions to add to the collection.. I'm sure it will evolve over time as I use it more in our company as well. hmm, faster to write yes, but i don't think faster performing. Definitely more refactor safe with the Fodel that's for sure! And it'll be even better once the IDE support gets there... Yes, everyone's really waiting for the IDE support. 2.8 should be out in September/October which promises a new eclipse plugin with far superior functionality, stability and reliability. P.s., to quickly try out the Wicket Extensions, either add the wicketstuff repo to your settings.xml, or install the archetype from source, and run: mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.wicketstuff.scala -DarchetypeArtifactId=wicket-scala-archetype -DgroupId=com.sharca -DartifactId=scalawicket-archetypetest -DarchetypeVersion=1.4-SNAPSHOT Check out the sample app and spec tests for other possible uses.

Still, a simple page with some example code would help a lot - Maven archetypes can be quite annoying when the repository isn't directly available. I completely agree, but I don't have time atm to do it. And the samples are available in SVN. Like I said, you are more than welcome to create a new template page in the wiki, and I will happily fill in some detail. If you don't know how to download the code, make sure you have a svn client installed, go to your prompt and type a variant of: svn checkout https://wicket-stuff.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicket-stuff/wicketstuff-core/scala-extensions-parent wick-scala-extensions Then look in the sample directory for the sample project. Also I don't know where to get the test-jars. The test code is all under the src/test dirs of the various projects. The bulk of the test code is in the core project - wicketstuff-core/ scala-extensions-parent/wicket-scala/src/test About that arrow character: Eclipse 3.4.x on Windows XP. Default workspace characterset is set to UTF-8 and usually that works just fine. It probably was only the class file viewer (with attached source) that had troubles displaying the character. Ok, well try looking in the normal text view. But worse, I still don't know how to type that character, which makes it extremely impractical. Ok - to clarify, Scala doesn't mind which notation you use for ⇒. You are free to use = if you wish -they are synonymous. Also note that you don't have to use ⇒ to interact with the WicketScala library code either. Hope that's clarified things! Cheers, Antony.
