Qwicket is an easy and fast solution for creating your next project with Wicket. Right from the website, you can create an account (if you’d like to save your work as you go), and add beans to your project directly from the UI.

Qwicket 0.4 was just recently released by Justin Lee, and it features some patches I sent over to the project for integration with Jetty and HSQLDB. So when you’re looking to start your new project with wicket, your options are:

• Download the wicket dependencies and write all your own boilerplate code
• Use the Qwicket website, create your domain model and download the boilerplate code.

Now with the Jetty and HSQLDB additions, all the dependencies needed are handled by the Ant Maven plugin, so you can get to whats important, writing the next web 2.0 app.

Items that are planned for the future: multiple persistence framework selection (JPA, iBatis), portlet support, scaffolding, and maybe someone to help with the UI
