The Wicket Team

-= Apache Wicket =-

Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework currently
undergoing incubation at the Apache Software foundation. With proper
mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML,
Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the
boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable
components written with plain Java and HTML.

We are still in the process of migrating our infrastructure to reflect our top
level status, so for now the Apache Wicket website is still found at the
incubator:

    http://incubator.apache.org/wicket

-= This release =-

This release is the second in a series of beta releases until we feel
confident to finalize Wicket 1.3. This is called a beta because we don't have
fixed all bugs, and probably haven't found them all either (can you ever be
sure?). However, we are confident that most major API changes are in and
therefore want to give you access to a more stable platform than depending on
trunk.

The most notable change (apart from then numerous bug fixes) is the new Guice
integration: Wicket now ships with integration for Google's Guice. To make
that happen, some shared functionality has been extracted from Wicket Spring
and put into a new module: Wicket IoC.

- Migrating from 1.2 -

If you are coming from Wicket 1.2, you really want to read our migration
guide, found on the wiki:

        http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrate-13.html

- Downloading the release -

You can download the release from the official Apache mirror system, and you
can find it through the following link:

    http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-beta2/

For the Maven and Ivy fans out there: update your pom's to the following, and
everything will be downloaded automatically:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
    <artifactId>wicket</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0-beta2</version>
</dependency>

Substitute the artifact ID with the projects of your liking to get the other
projects.

Please note that we don't prescribe a Logging implementation for
SLF4J. You need to specify yourself which one you prefer. Read more
about SLF4J here: http://slf4j.org
