If you're OK with Maven2 & having it download what it needs, then I'd suggest downloading the wicket-template from wicket-stuff (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=134391&package_id=197274) as that's about the smallest thing going... > 2.

Just down to the defintion of "appserver" - all that's needed is servlet container functionality - We tend to use Jetty as it's easy to embed in IDEs & run standalone, but there's no requirement for it over any other servlet engine. > 3. is the Wicket Doc available as a pdf anywhere ? No, while there are books on the way, the info's mainly in the 1 - Javadocs (http://wicket.sourceforge.net/apidocs/wicket/package-summary.html#package_description) 2 - Quick Tour & Examples (http://wicket.sourceforge.net/Examples.html & http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/) and 3 - Wiki (http://wicket.sourceforge.net/wiki) /Gwyn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
