I installed Wicket per the rules of the Wicket site. How do I run Wicket within my IDE, Eclipse? I have added all the necessary plug-ins.

Answer 1

I expect you have configured as per quick-start guide here: http://wicket.apache.org/start/quickstart.html

There is a configuration setting for Eclipse as well. Now, if you have your project in Eclipse and you have m2eclipse plugin (Maven-2 for Eclipse) installed. Follow the steps below:

1. Right click on the Wicket project folder, select run As > Maven Clean, then run As > Maven Install. This will build your Wicket project.
2. TO start Jetty, you will need to do some more steps
   • Right click on wicket project folder, 'run As > run configurations..`
   • Create new Maven Build configuration, give a name, select wicket projects directory as Base Directory, in Goals type in jetty:run. Now, you will have jetty running your application at localhost:8080/yourAppName

The Jetty run configuration will be available in run As menu for future usage.

This is pretty much it!
