Is there any reason we can't have the default HTML template have
this functionality?
I think the reason is that the IDE attempts to guide you in making the
right decision. Normally, except in web frameworks such as Wicket, the
HTML file finds itself outside the source packages. So, the IDE prevents
the developer making a mistake by not letting him/her create the HTML
file in a source package. I think this makes sense. The fact that the
Other category contains an HTML file that circumvents this, means that
you have a choice to put it somewhere else, but only if you consciously
choose that alternative HTML template.

Gili,
Sounds like a great idea! One of the issues I opened up a while
back is that you currently can't create an HTML file into "Source
Packages". So you end up having to a file into "Web Pages" then
moving it into the appropriate folder in "Source Packages". Fixing
that would be nice ;)
Sorry I didn't tell you, but it's been fixed all along. If you go to
the "Other" category, you'll find an HTML file there. (I.e., do not
use the HTML fin the "Web" category", but in the "Other" category.)
Then you can select where to put it -- including in a source package!
It would also go hand-in-hand with a single file template that
creates two files.
Yup.
Other feature I would love to see is code-completion for
<wicket:*> tags in the HTML editor. I believe we'll get this for
free once we have a Wicket 1.2 DTD (I'm not sure whether this exists
yet or not).
Cool idea. Definitely doable. I'll look into it.
Thanks for the ideas,
Gj

Hi all,
Firstly, I want to apologize for not being a regular contributor to
these Wicket lists (at all). Some time ago I blogged about Wicket
quite a bit (http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan), but since then other
work activities have taken up my time.
I work as a technical writer for NetBeans in Prague, Czech Republic.
I'm going to be at JavaOne, where I will do a presentation called
"Developing an Editor for your Favorite Web Framework".
Basically, I'll show how you can strip the NetBeans IDE to its bare
essentials, and then add plug-ins for the editor functionality
specific to whatever web framework you want to use, and then finish
off with some branding -- adding a splash screen, creating an
executable, and then running the resulting executable with just the
NetBeans core plus your plug-ins.
So, that's where Wicket comes in! I'm going to use Wicket as my
example web framework for purposes of this presentation at JavaOne.
For this reason, I'd really appreciate your help. When you think
of: "Wicket IDE", what would be some of the features that you'd
like to be there? I'm thinking of:
-- project templates
-- project samples
-- a single file template that creates two source files: HTML file
and Java source file
-- a palette that lets you drag components into the HML file, while
simultaneously generating the associated Java code in the Java
source file
-- being able to jump for the HTML code to the related Java code,
using a shortcut key or menu item in the editor
Do the above make sense to you? Are there other things you can
think of?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Geertjan
