Wicket vs Tapestry

[Adam Greene <ag...@professionalopensource.ca>]

I was looking at Wicket Web Framework (http://wicket.sourceforge.net/ExampleHelloWorld.html) and realized how much it reminds me of Tapestry.  It says it is being released under ASL and developed by one of the original JFC Swing members.  Anyone else looked at this framework?  Does it have any ties to Tapestry in any way.  Or is it just that Tapestry's approach is the best and people are imitating it :-)

I haven't really looked at it, but there were comments about it on  
TSS and Howard discussed it briefly in his blog, so I would check  
those out.  As a side note, I would be cautious about calling  
something the "best" though -- that tends to lead to local maxima and  
stagnation.  However, with the great work being done in Tapestry 4, I  
don't think that's something we need to worry too much about.
