Welcome to Apache Wicket

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.

Wicket is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Apache Wicket 1.4-m1 is released!

May 2, 2008

The Apache Wicket team is proud to announce the availability of the first milestone release of our first java 1.5 Wicket version: Apache Wicket 1.4-m1. This is the first release with java 1.5 as a minimum. Not everything has been converted to java 1.5 yet but we are getting there.

We thank you for your patience and support.
