Getting started with Wicket: very easy!

[jweekend <jw...@cabouge.com>]

After a chat on the ##wicket Freenode IRC channel in the week with Igor, I
offered to write a bit of documentation about getting Wicket up and running,
simply.

I was planning to use some material Al Maw had shown us at one of our 
http://jWeekend.co.uk/dev/LWUGReg London Wicket User Group  meetings, what
is already available on the  http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/ wiki , and 
http://manning.com/dashorst/ Martijn and Eelco's book  for inspiration.

As I was surfing around, I came across 
http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html this quickstart guide , which must
be quite new. Along with  http://wicket.apache.org/getting-wicket.html this 
it is exactly what we need, and importantly, they're both linked to from the 
http://wicket.apache.org/ Wicket homepage .

If you follow the simple and short instructions, it just works (something
you get quite accustomed to if you are already lucky enough to use Wicket on
your projects).

After doing what is described  http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html here
, I also tried mvn eclipse:eclipse from the myproject folder and imported
the created project into Eclipse (I'm using the 3.3 release) and ran
Start.java. I pointed my browser at http://localhost:8080/myproject/ and got
the  "Wicket Quickstart Archetype Homepage".

That's it - up and running in no time and no fuss, ready to build a 
http://talks.londonwicket.org/FormsWithFlair.pdf shiny  new Wicket app.

Thanks to all those mentioned above, and above all, to those of you who have
created a truly fantastic and great to use framework. I would not be happy
to develop the web tier without it.
