Now that Wicket is built on top of jQuery, does the Wicket project have a stated policy on when that dependency will be updated?
I found the Wicket Ajax page ( https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/wicket-ajax.html) but it did not address this. I'm aware that I can override the default version included by Wicket. However, I would prefer to use the jQuery version that is a) officially supported by the team as well and b) ostensibly tested against by supporting Wicket projects such as Wicket Stuff and WiQuery. I can already infer that it's not "guaranteed to be the latest" as the Wicket 6.x line is on 1.7.2 while 1.8.0 was released just under a month before Wicket 6.0.0 was released ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery#Release_history), and the current Wicket 6.2.0 is still on jQuery 1.7.2. Please note that I'm not complaining; in fact, the stability of the jQuery dependency can be considered a positive. In my particular case, once upgraded to Wicket 6, our project will inevitably have non-Wicket-related jQuery code that depends on the version of jQuery provided by Wicket. Knowing how stable that dependency will be will help up plan the testing effort around future Wicket upgrades. My guess is that the Wicket 6.x line will use jQuery 1.7.2, and only when Wicket 7 is released will jQuery be upgraded to >= 1.8.0. Can anybody confirm this? Thanks, Brian
