Add Development Mode dashboard widget when deployed in development mode
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-599
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Martijn Dashorst
Attachments: screenshot-1.jpg
It is considered bad practise to deploy your wicket application in development
mode in a production environment. Because several features beneficial to
development will make an application behave less than optimal when confronted
with lots of users and requests.
The idea is to extend the Wicket Ajax Debug link and make it a full fledged
panel that is *always* visible when working in development mode. There will not
be a setting to turn this off. If someone wants to have the development
features available in a production environment, these can be enabled using the
settings object.
Another idea, thanks to Korbinian Bachl is to add the Inspector Bug to this
widget, to enable introspection of the components on the page.
The widget should be movable (so it does not obscure other markup elements),
and it should have a hide link to enable screen shots whilst still in
development mode (very useful when writing articles and books).
A screen shot for this feature can be seen attached to this issue.
