The Apache Wicket team announced the availability of the 2nd maintenance release: Apache Wicket 1.3.2.  Mostly bug fixes and minor improvements.   Paving the way for the next major version of Wicket I believe.

Wicket users update now, I personally have not notice anything broken, but I use self built weekly builds most of the time anyhow.

 New Firefox extension for Firebug.  Firebug is already THE tool for any web developer.

All you web developers using Firebug, go get Firecookie so you get cookie control all right in Firebug interface.

Already found myself using it more than I thought I would.  So much more power being able to more than just view your cookies.

Get it, get it, get it!

Matej Knopp recently released some nice grid (or table) components over at inMethods software site. They work really slick and should be very easy to integrate into existing projects. Not to mention that they make Wicket (as if it was great on its own) just that much better looking.

DateGrid Features

• ajax enabled
• resizable and reorderable columns
• horizontal and vertical scrolling with fixed header
• multi-column sorting support
• easy item selection
• advanced pagination (even without knowing the total item count)
• adapters for Wicket Extensions IDataProvider and IColumn

TreeGrid Features

• ajax enabled
• resizable and reorderable columns
• horizontal and vertical scrolling with fixed header
• multi-column sorting support
• easy item selection
• driven by a swing TreeModel and TreeNode

All wicket users should definitely take a look at the project that is in beta 2 right now.

How did we ever survive doing web development before Firebug?

The Apache Wicket team is proud to announce the availability of the first maintenance release: Apache Wicket 1.3.1.

A lot of bugs have been squashed and improvements implemented. The most notable improvement is the addition out-of-the-box, transparent clustering support.

1.3 has personally been extremely stable and a ton of features that if you are still using 1.2 you should bite the bullet and jump.

 The Apache Wicket team is starting off 2008 with a bang.  They just officially released version 1.3!  This is great to see since I have been personally using 1.3 codes since last year and have had very little stability issues related to the framework.  Just goes to show how well Wicket is built/designed and the team behind it!

If you don’t know what Wicket is, then you must not have talked to me, since it is the only Java web framework I will talk about anymore!

Be come a Wicket fanatic and see how Java web development should have been done for years.

Great work Wicket team… I look forward to what 1.4 brings and the migration to Java 5 and generics…. Yes!
