- 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).
Cool, you are the right one to kick off such a plug-in for Wicket. What do we need to do to convince you?
Geeez, lots I guess.. First of all, I need to get proved that wicket is the One :) I'm on track already, but all I did is to play with my own helloworlds.. so I definetely need time to get familiar with wicket. Knowing some internals (like page-instantiation logic ;)) could help too.. and as I see the current cvs head, it definetely needs some work to get it stabilized (eg. tests fail atm).
Seriously, do you have any plans or at least a bunch of ideas of what such a plugin could do? For a start, matching parsing templates for wicket markups with component names could help I think. Adding wizards and such funky almost-useless stuff could be relatively easy too. For a distant vision, parallel source and WYSIWYG html editing with a Wicket component palette on the side would be pretty impressive.. but right as I said, even to kick off with these, I need to dig into Wicket at least to see how to retrieve component trees built for pages from java code, etcetc.
At last, I have a daily work to do (guess we all have, nah?) and while I *am* looking for a hobby project, I'd rather start hacking away on the ideas which come up (if any :) and see what I can come up with than officially volunteer for anything..
