Using Java 8 with Wicket 7
Hi all,
Two quick questions:
Is there a timeline for a release of Wicket 8?
For a project, I'll be using Java 8, and I'd rather use a released
version of Wicket. Assuming that Wicket 8 isn't being released next
week, is there any wisdom for using Java 8's features with Wicket 7?
I've seen some blogposts, etc, but I wanted to ask if there is any
additional wisdom. Are there any things which are way easier in Wicket
8 (using Java 8 Lambdas for instance)?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
Wicket 8 is far from ready but there is no problem to use Wicket 7 with
Java 8 and apply Java 8 goodies in your application code.

Hi Andrea, Martin,
Thanks for the replies! I'll check out that project and other info on
the web.
Cheers,

Hi,
there is no timeline at the moment but there is a lot of work left to do. I
would say that it's unlike to see a final release of Wicket 8 in less then
a year. For some hints on how Java 8 can improve your coding, take a look
at wicketstuff module 'lambda' :
https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/tree/master/lambda-parent
It contains lambda-based models that can be quite helpful to keep your code
shorter and simplier.
Andrea.
