Fun night at the Denver JUG tonight

Tonight's Java User's Group looks like a good one. The first session will be on Wicket which I will be giving. Hopefully, we'll get a lot of questions and curiosity from the audience. I'm really excited about the main session though. Tom Poindexter will be talking about the Echo2 framework. This is one that's been high on my list to learn for some time now so that will be very educational for me. If you're curious about either framework and are in the Denver area, you should definitely stop by. Did I mention the free pizza?

Qwicket 0.3

Qwicket now supports basic bean definitions in the UI. The CRUD pages still aren't there, but the requisite services and DAOs are as well as the spring configurations. The spring setup and project layout have changed a fair bit in this release. What was being done with ant filters has been changed to use spring property replacement. Customization of these property values are now stored in src/conf/application-override.properties with the defaults in src/conf/application.properties. This release introduces Users into Qwicket itself. You can now save your project and return to it at a later date. You can still work anonymously, though, if you prefer. This release should be pretty solid but it was little rushed to finish before I present at the Denver JUG on the 9th so if you see something, please fill out a bug report using the link in the menu on the left.

I have also updated the documentation to address the missing maven dependencies.  There are also two different scripts available to help you update your maven repository.  Please try those out and if there's something missing let me know.

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 of fields and press enter. The zip file will contain your runnable application skeleton. I'll put a road map up soon, but the next big feature will be a bean builder that also generates basic CRUD pages for all your beans. Watch this space for details. :) Start your wicket app today here.
