I just started working through Wicket framework. http://wicket.apache.org

I like the approach, but I just got started with it. Not sure if I have
the time to spend an hour to discuss it. I have just been following the
"Wicket in Action" book. The issue I have with the book is that the
sample download code is mashed all together. 

https://code.google.com/p/wicketinaction/downloads/list

I followed the examples in the book and broke out the pieces into
individual projects (original examples under Apache license). I think
it is pretty cool.

If people want to try my individual projects, download them here.

giraffe.zip - The basics structure for the Wicket app. Nothing quite rendered
              on the view yet.
zebra.zip - Add some actual stuff to the view.

In order to use them, you need a java compiler and Maven.

apt-get install maven
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

$ unzip <zip file>
$ cd <project>

$ mvn jetty:run
