hi,

the problem is, that many to be users aren't that deep into oo programming as
expected. also, people trying out wicket don't come from a maven background but
maybe from plain jsp or other frameworks - or even php.

> $ mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.wicket
>       -DarchetypeArtifactId=wicket-archetype-quickstart
>       -DarchetypeVersion=1.3.0-beta3
>       -DgroupId=com.mycompany
>       -DartifactId=myproject
> $ cd myproject
> $ more pom.xml

i've this suggestions now quite a few times and many users did actually say 'i
don't have maven installed'. many users are just doing some web programming as
hobby and trying out new things once in a while.

it surely isn't the fault of the developers what knowledge people have when they
stumble over wicket and find it worth a look. but to start with wicket for a
newcomer it might be helpful to not be dependend on maven.

on the other hand, i really don't understand why it's so hard to create a small
wicket-project by hand: just set up a java project and add the wicket.jar to the
build path and start coding. one has then to see for his own servlet container,
but that one should know.

regards, --- jan.
