A couple of additional questions: - is real Spring-integration (I mean full DI for Pages, not a pull-approach) planned for release 1.0, 1.0.x or 1.1? I saw it getting discussed on this list recently but haven't seen any decisions.
wicket-contrib-spring contains two means to integrate with Spring. A more lightweight and an extended one. But we currently don't have, though probably not to difficult to implement, an IPageFactory which "loads" the Page from a BeanFactory. At the time we did these examples and discussed it, we finally failed to come up with a really good reason; a benefit compared the way we currently do it (and yes we know IoC in general). May be you have that compelling use case?
Well, it depends.. comparing to the current lightweight approach, maintaining all Page files in a spring container config would be an overkill.. but actually exploiting spring's autowiring feature could be a smart choice. In a nutshell, *not* storing Page's anywhere in xml but getting Spring to try and automatically push any dependant components actually wired in Spring into Page classes might work. (i have to think it over though, it's just a thought atm).
- anyone working already on an Eclipse-plugin? :) as with Spindle for Tapestry, I think it could be a big step forward to get more people interested in "yet another framework" after the first stable release..
I completely agree but until now we focussed on Wicket. Have you done some Eclipse-plugin development, already?
Some.. I delivered 3 swt apps to production at my old company, bootstrapped the Hibernator eclipse plugin (ages ago) and eg. did some initial work for the JDocs plugin for the Javalobby guys but we lost contact with them months ago too (I guess they lost interest in that project).
