It depends on what you are looking for. Activity
wicket-contrib-dojo is in my opinion the most actively maintained. extjs is not a project yet, and yui is in its infancy if I understand correctly. scriptactulous is not very evolved as a supported library, however I haven't followed its commit logs recently. But there is more to consider in activity: the javascript library itself. dojo is a very active community and I think they need to stabilize their api. It's been a year and a half since I tracked their project and it still isn't stable. This doesn't mean their code is bad, but their project seems constantly in flux. The prototype family (scriptaculous, rico, mootools, ...) seems to have a slower development path. Scriptaculous seems to have a more API from the javascript side. * JQuery is getting great reviews, though there is no wicket-contrib project for that. It is active * YUI and YUI Ext (extjs) also get great reviews and seem like a good place to start. YUI is very stable, and extjs just reached 1.0, so ymmv. Wicket doesn't provide many JavaScript widgets, and when we add them we're sorry we did so given the enormous drain on resources they cause (the modal window is one example, the datepicker another). However, the provided widgets give a great programming model, and are therefore quite popular. For choosing a library it is a matter of taste and priorities. If you want an actively maintained wicket project, then dojo should be your cup of tea, if you want stability, probably prototype + some other library would be a better choice. If you want small footprint, then consider adopting mootools. If you want a huge company backing, YUI would be a good library, with extjs as a nice extra. Personally I'm not too fond of huge javascript libraries anymore. Yes most of our customers have DSL, but their download capacity is shared and downloading 125kb takes a toll on their experience. I also favor stability of the underlying javascript library so I don't have to upgrade every other day or week.
