Qwicket 0.2

This release is the migration to the web app. You can now create your application online without downloading anything. Other than your generated application code, of course. I also switched to velocity for templating for finer grained control. Click the “Build your project” link to the left, fill in a couple [...]

NullPointerException in Liferay

When I try to deploy any portlet war in Liferay I get a NullPointerException. Even using the samples they bundle. Has anyone see that and know how to fix it?

Qwicket 0.1 released

I pushed up 0.1 this weekend.  I failed to get a run script in the bundle, but it can be run using ant.  The default target is to run the builder.  This is the first and last release as a swing client.  Igor Vaynberg convinced me to write it as a web app.  I started [...]
