Re: Using Eclipse & Wicket for Modular Webapps
That is very interesting. We have divided our web applications into "modules", which are essentially mini WARs that are merged in the build process to make the final deployed WAR. This allows us to share these "modules" among various web applications, which helps with code reuse and maintainability. However, the build process and development cycle is cumbersome, and the "modules" are not as decoupled as I would like them to be; meaning they can't be dropped-in as easy as an Eclipse plugin. I've been looking for a solution, and thought that Wicket plus OSGi would be the way to go. Unfortunately, solving that problem is not at the top of my priorities right now. I wonder what, if anything useful, Spring dm Server ( http://www.springsource.com/products/suite/dmserver) brings to the table in trying to make this work.

Re: Using Eclipse & Wicket for Modular Webapps
The conclusion says: "But most important: it would be really interesting to actually build a real Wicket application with Eclipse. Only real world experience can show whether itʻs worth the hassle in the end." I think it's definitely possible. I'm running two customizations of a Wicket application based on the NetBeans Platform (I posted a few weeks ago a link about that: http://netbeans.dzone.com/articles/using-netbeans-platform-server) and so far everything works fine, in spite of the application being relatively complex. I was worried about some potential issues with the classloaders, which is a constant risk every time you deal with modular frameworks such as Eclipse Platform or NetBeans platform, but none manifested so far. BTW, I'm trying to understand why I didn't have to deal with the IClassResolver for bookmarkable pages...

Re: Using Eclipse & Wicket for Modular Webapps
Hi Thijs, You are right, the last sentence is garbled. It really is the last sentence, thought, so You didn't miss anything relevant, though. I'll fix it tomorrow morning. thanks for the find Thomas On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 9:40 PM, Thijs Vonk wrote: > Looks really interresting, I've read the pdf. but it seems that there is a > part missing at the end... > > > On 2/6/09 6:02 PM, Thomas Mäder wrote: > >> Hi Folks, >> >> I've been experimenting with getting the Eclipse plugin engine up inside a >> wicket application.
