While the wicket fanboys like to bang on pots and pans and make a lot of noise, I think it's important for me to say where I think we should really be paying attention -<br>
<br>
The following 2 Indeed job trends graphs hopefully make my point:<br>

<br>
We can learn a thing or two from wicket, but I'd rather learn from or work with technologies that are actually in the process of breaking out, or have already had great success.<br>
<br>
Just something to keep in mind next time you get a derisive tweet.<br><font color="#888888">

P.S. And that's also a reminder to me that I really need to look at GWT again. And I still have that action item to examine our interoperability with jQuery more thoroughly.<br>
<br>
P.P.S. Yes, I think jQuery has won the JS framework wars for the time being. The jobs data backs up my anecdotal experience. The breakout appears to have started about 2 years ago.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Speaking of jQuery and JavaScript libraries, one question that came up was how does the developer ensure that if he/she is using two different Ajax-based JSF 2 component libraries that use jQuery, for instance, the library is only imported into the page once? Is there any idea of using a registry of common libraries namespaces? This would pertain to @ResourceDependency on a UIComponent in two different component libraries, both referencing jQuery. We have this unification already with javax.faces:jsf.js.<br>
