In Australia it's almost non-existent. Mostly technology is 5 or 6 years behind the rest of the world, generally. Most places I've worked for here use JSP and Struts 1. Obviously there are plenty of places that do cutting edge stuff, but it's few and far between.
I work for the only company I know of that uses Wicket (they used it before I came, but it's the reason why I'm here). I do plenty of searches for Wicket based jobs, as I'm still a contractor and other than here, there is nothing. Guess that means I'm hoping to stick around! ;) Okay, how's this for Sod's Law. I figure I should do a quick search on seek.com.au before making these claims, and another company in Melbourne mentions Wicket as a nice-to-have on a job description... :) Col. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Mosmann [mailto:mich...@mosmann.de] Sent: 05 February 2013 08:33 To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: Re: Wicket job market Am 04.02.2013 15:43, schrieb manuelbarzi: >> Play Framework, Apache Click, Stripes, Struts, JSF, Seam >> http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22Play+Framework%22%2C+%22Apache+C >> lick%22%2C+Stripes%2C+Struts%2C+JSF%2C+Seam >> What needs to be improved to get a wider adoption of Wicket ? > IMO, "selling" Wicket as Vaadin does, may help a lot. I think, you should not compare wicket with vaadin. Wicket is not the right answer for every project. Wicket does not compete with vaadin, because wicket is a different hammer. The rise of "javascript apps" could change the future of web development, but for such a project you should not use wicket either. IMHO wicket is the better answer than struts, grails (if you have a long term maintenance cycle), jsf... I think there are many wicket projects out there, but wicket is not the so called cool stuff like grails, spring roo and so on... nothing a developer likes to play with (which is IMHO a good thing). I think, this could be changed with wicket 6 (jquery build-in)... but it is a long way.
