Apache Wicket

Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework. With
proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of
XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap
the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable
components written with plain Java and HTML.

You can find out more about Apache Wicket on our website:

http://wicket.apache.org

This release is the first maintenance release for the Wicket 1.3 product.
Development for a new version of Wicket will commence soon. This release fixes
