Wicket most active Java Web framework forum


As you can see on this Nabble page, Wicket has the most active forum of all registered Java Web Frameworks.

Ruby on Rails and Django are the hot things in Ruby and Phyton land. So may we conclude Wicket is the hot thing in Java land?

  1. Ugh, a couple of days ago we were above DJango even :/

    FYI, we don't seem to have more traffic then Struts and MyFaces. But that doesn't surprise me :)

    Btw, you can explain an active forum in multiple ways: you can say it's good because there is a lot of attention and (hopefully) lots of support, but otoh you can say that a framework generating this many questions is too difficult to use/ has too many bugs etc :)

  2. Or (which is what I would think) the community is much more focused around one forum.... Some of the mentioned projects have hyper-active mailinglists...

  3. Peter, please take a look at Nabble. The idea is that you register a mailing list and that Nabble presents it as a forum.

    The real big catch for this metric is that not all mailing lists are registered at Nabble.

  4. Ah, thanks for pointing that out... I never took a good look at nabble. After clicking around a bit I must say that the view to which you are referring is a bit skewed: it doesn't even contain struts or tapestry... which are certainly present at nabble!

  5. Whether or not it's supported by Nabble, Wicket is hot.

  6. I was amazed to not even hear the word 'wicket' mentioned in any form on JavaPolis... which is quite strange if it is the 'most active java web framework'... how is that possible?

  7. Financing. The Wicket authors have been stretched thin visiting all those conferences. As you may know, none of these people are backed by a big corporation.
