I was just checking if someone has been doing some DW work. It seems no one has.
Just thinking out loud whether I should develop something myself ... ( ... ) I agree that a Dreamweaver extension for Wicket may seem useless or overkill if you are a Java developer. Developers prefer vi over DW, I suppose. But then ( Java ) developers usually don't excel in designing websites ( have a look at http://www.csszengarden.com/ to see what designers can do without even touching html, let alone if you give them the freedom to change html as well ). The explanation is probably that designers are better in communicating with end-users than developers are. I strongly propose seperating design ( including coding html and css ) and technical work from architectural design to coding Java. But I am getting off-topic, to the point: a Dreanweaver extension for Wicket. I am thinking of... ( in order of increasing complexity ) #1 The tool should communicate clearly which components the Wicket framework has to offer, what they do and how they should be used. #2 The tool should take care of coding wicket:id attributes everywhere, either real-time or as a sort of pre-compile before handing over to the Java team. #3 The tool should validate code and naming style. #4 There should be an option to temporarily replace data components with dummy data. #5 A utility to "wicket-ize" existing sites. It should be possible to automatically generate the .html part of an existing ( data driven ) website. I am always open to other ideas... I am currently studying Wicket / Databinder as a follow-up of a selection project. The product of my study will be a small site including a set of ( customized ) how to's for developing wicket pages. I'll try to develop a Dreamweaver extension as well covering #1, #2 and if time permits #3 and / or #4. I have to dive into DW but if I remember well there is similar stuff for PHP templating so it shouldn't be too hard. I'll let you know when I have to something which I can show. - nilo de roock Otan wrote: > > Yeah, Wicket made it possible for us to use dreamweaver again for > componentized webpages.
