The licensing is a pain. We started using ExtJS when it was LGPL, then they
switched to GPL. By then we were already invested, so we bought a commercial
license -- kind of feel like we got suckered into that one. If I had a
chance to do it again I would just use YUI. We use ExtJS on top of YUI.
However, ExtJS is a good product, even though they made a poor licensing
decision.

The licensing problem is just a fact that we have to deal with now, so I'm
trying to find out what the easiest path is for integrating ExtJS 2.2 with
Wicket. If someone else has already done the effort or started the effort,
then that would help. The amount of work involved in integrating ExtJS 2.2
with Wicket is part of our new web framework evaluation criteria.

Thanks,
Richard Allen
