<section name="Welcome to Wicket">
<p>
Wicket is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of
concerns and ease of development to a whole new level. Wicket pages can be mocked
up, previewed and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Dynamic
content processing and form handling is all handled in Java code using a first-class
component model backed by POJO data beans that can easily be persisted using your
favourite technology.

<subsection name="October 30, 2005 - Wicket 1.1 Available">
<p>
The Wicket team is proud to announce the availability of Wicket 1.1 for
download! Wicket is a Java component oriented web application framework
that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and easy of use to a whole
new level. Wicket web applications consist of HTML markup and Java
classes. No strange languages, no strange markup, no configuration files
, no specialized, expensive tools: just Java, HTML and you.
</p>
<p>
This Wicket version contains a lot of improvements from the 1.0 version.
New features include:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Simplified feedback and validation</b> - enables custom feedback strategies</li>
<li><b>Live Component Reference</b> - the examples project contains a component reference showing how to use the components.</li>
<li><b>JavaScript and CSS support for components</b> - contribute JavaScript and CSS from your component to the using page</li>
<li><b>Markup Inheritance</b> - enables template pages and components</li>
<li><b>Inclusion of external markup</b></li>
<li><b>Simplified Choice component</b> - creating drop down, radio and list components was never this easy</li>
<li><b>Less dependencies</b> - we removed several library dependencies</li>
<li><b>Customizable Form handling</b> - easy for quick forms, easily enables full custom form processing</li>
<li><b>Improved resource handling</b></li>
<li><b>Date picker component</b> - will not get you dates, but a JavaScript and text field enabled localized calendar component.</li>
<li><b>Improved URL handling</b></li>
<li><b>AJAX request handling support</b> - support for two leading AJAX JavaScript libraries is available as separate downloads from our Wicket Stuff project: scriptaculous and DOJO toolkit</li>
