What you could do is create a patch (Unified Diff) and send it as an attachement with your email. That's the best/ fastest way to have such stuff applied. And we don't need to have lengthy discussions on javadocs either.

I'm not a saint, but I am usually committed to writing good javadocs. Not everyone is so comitted (sometimes just due to lack of time). So, please provide us with improvements. That said, how much actual code of other open source products (or closed source when you had the chance to get them) did you look at? I think Wicket does a decent job overall.

Can someone please explain to me the the point the Javadoc for Component.isVersioned()? I'm picking on this one as an example of a bigger problem in some of the Wicket documentation. Some are very well documented while others are really *really* poor.

There is absolutely no value added when isVersioned is documented as "Returns the isVersioned". As an end-user, the first thing going through my mind when I read this would be: What is "isVersioned"?! What is versioning?! I'm expecting to see a short explanation of what versioning is and what it means for a component to return true or false? How does this affect the component's behavior?

I'm just pointing this out here for future reference because I can't open new bug reports for each and every one of these things (I tried doing so in the past) especially seeing as new ones are being added every day. Can the team please try to provide verbose documentation or none at all? At least when you provide none at all your IDE will warn you about the missing documentation; it'll never warn you about bad documentation :)

Thanks,
Gili
