the one thing you always hear swing developers bitching about is how
they have to fight the layout managers to get the results they want.
gridbaglayout is poweful but its a huge pain to work with.
matisse+grouplayout are the holy grail for swing devels, its nice and
easy to create layouts. but it still requires a gui to do this, while
i can do html easily by hand.
Well, next time also look into the FormLayout of the JGoodies (Forms)
fame. It's easy to do by hand, even easier if you use the factories and
builders it provides. Excellent library JGoodies, it's my choice as a
layout manager for the desktop.
also browser screen space doesnt translate easily to the desktop
space. in desktop space you are pixel aware, you are also pixel aware
of your fonts and the south east corner of the window. in html you
have none of these things.
look at wingS framework examples, they use layout managers. look how
rectangular their examples look.

But suppose an employer maintained an HTML fragment with links to

on every page of each web application. Since someone else is
maintaining that scrap and keeping it up-to-date, I would not want to
translate it into Echo 2 and maintain my own copy.
Would it not likely be easier to incorporate such an HTML scrap
into a
Wicket application, versus one written in a framework such as Echo 2
that abstracted away the HTML completely?

Yeah. I see some advantages of using layout managers - basically the
same promise as Swing has - but currently I would still prefer using
HTML for layout. If I would like the GWT way of developing
applications, I would have choosen Echo 2 a long time ago. GWT looks
like a next gen Echo to me, though with a very big name behind it, and
some cool innovations. ... Eelco
