As you can see on this Nabble page, Wicket has the most active forum of all registered Java Web Frameworks.
Ruby on Rails and Django are the hot things in Ruby and Phyton land. So may we conclude Wicket is the hot thing in Java land?

Hi Matt, I asked Roman Strobl the "Go to File" or "Open File" dialogs (equivalent to Idea's Ctrl+Shit+N). He assured me that this is planned to Netbeans 6.0.
But of course, our hero Martin Fowler has already thought of that. Its right there in the second link.
Luckily one of the students suggested to explain the workings of dependency injection by working through the 'hello world' application from the book 'Spring in Action'. This I did using Eclipse with all keyboard shortcuts I known.
But even then, I am not sure I could really explain why Spring is useful. Simple examples never do just to Spring's power as they are more easily written directly in Java.
I am afraid that seeing why you need Spring only comes when you are building a real application.
Note: There is a rumor that Thomas Enebo, another JRuby author will also be there.
After that I went through hell to get the firewall running again. My steps included:
- installing an ancient SuSE 7.0 from CD
- figuring out how to get that SuSE 10.0 installation DVD copy I accidentally still had on my MP3 player to the firewall's second harddisk
- trying to update SuSE 7.0 to 10.0 (it refused)
- figuring out how to make a SuSE 10 installation boot CD (see previous post)
- installing SuSE 10.0 from harddisk
Weirdly enough the hardest step was to copy the SuSE 10.0 installation files to the firewall's harddisk. First I tried WarFTP to serve it from my Windows machine. However, I kept getting access denied errors (configuring WarFTP is a science), and the ftp program is not really suitable for recursive retrieval. I finally succeeded by using the smbclient program.
Perhaps I'll try Ubuntu again when SuSE 10.0 is no longer supported. Unfortunately this is already next summer, sigh.
Update 2006-11-22: In my hurry to write this article I made a small mistake: my previous SuSE version was 9.2 and its support has been discontinued as of today. SuSE 10.0 is good to go until October 2007. See also SuSE lifetimes.
Requisites:
- target computer must have a CD player and a BIOS that supports booting from CD
- target computer must have some means to get to the installation files, preferably these are put on a not-in-the-way partition on the target computer (for example on the second harddisk)
- a (unix) computer with package mkisofs installed
- some way to burn an iso image to CD
Steps:
- cd to installfolder/boot, where installfolder is the root of the installation source
- execute
When you are in the installation program you can do a ' back' to get in the installation program's menu. From there you can configure an alternate installation source.
Note that if you choose to install from a harddisk partition you should NOT format it, and you should NOT try to mount that partition during the installation. If you want you can mount the partition after the installation.
