Agreed with Philip. However, one important note is that of the changing API. Though the constructor change and generics support were huge changes, the rest of the internals of the frameworks pretty much stayed the same. We have a couple of things we really feel should be improved, converters probably the biggest API breaker of them, but we certainly don't plan on rewriting the whole framework. Also - quite important - is that we are writing Wicket In Action against the 2.0 API. We are still a few months away from finishing that, but we really need the API to be stabalized within two months.

(This is also a hint to the rest of the devs :) )

Alex,

I think that the answer depends on a number of things.  First, will you be able to deploy to servers running java 1.5?  How soon do you expect the project to be completed and in production?  Does a changing API bother you while working on your new project?  Do you need generics and the other improvements in 2.0?

2.0 is shaping up to be great.  But I think they are probably a few months away from a solid release (my words, not the maintainers).  2.0's API most certainly stay in a state of change before a stable release is produce.  At least it did for 1.2.  If you need your project developed on a stable framework and in production before then, I'd go with the 1.2 branch.  There is nothing wrong with either 1.2 or 2.0.  Just weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision.

Thanks,

Dear mailing list,

I've been developing commercial custom webapplications with PHP(5) for a 
couple of years now, and am seriously looking Wicket for my future 
development.

Now I have an upcoming project which would greatly benefit from all the 
awesomeness Wicket has to offer, but I was wondering if it's a good idea 
to start with Wicket 1.2 now, when Wicket 2.0 will introduce fundamental 
changes like the "constructor change"?

Thanks for your reply,
Alex
