Today I got my copy of Seam in Action, which only mentions Wicket in name, but I didn’t expect it to contain lots of Wicket related content, since the Wicket integration just came of age recently (Seam in Action was published early 2008, which is ages ago). I’m curious to learn more about Seam… (but the book has to compete with Clean Code
for my attention)
It’s taken a while (3 years?) but finally the Tapestry community has elected to release Tapestry 5 to the general public. Congratulations to all involved.
I’m writing this from my room with a view in down town New Orleans. I’m speaking at ApacheCon US 2008 with two presentations: Wicket in Action and Guide to successful graduation at Apache. New Orleans is treating me wonderfully—I’m enjoying the Big Easy very well on this lazy sunday afternoon. You can still join us here (it’s not too late!).
In the mean time, I took the liberty of taking some tourist pictures during my short walk through the French Quarter and uploaded them to picasa web (which has awesome integration with iphoto?flickr be aware!).

In my new series of interviews with Wicket community members I recently caught up with Bruno Borges, a nice Brazilian guy from Rio de Janeiro. Bruno has been around for quite a while now and if I remember correctly visits the Wicket IRC channel on and off (probably when he isn’t lying on Ipanama beach). You can learn more from Bruno and his Wicket adventures in Meet the Wicket Community: Bruno Borges.
Until the maven site plugin is capable of actually producing a testable multi-module website, I’m putting all efforts on hold to include any docs (and JavaDocs in particular) into the Wicket distribution. I’m fed up with spending my free time figuring out the magical incantation to generate a site that runs in my browser without having to deploy it to a remote location. See MSITE-366 for my test case project that just won’t work. If you are desperate to get them javadocs, vote for that issue. Until then: you’re SOL.
