<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Clint,<div><br></div><div>What is it specifically that you will benefit from taking this into Wicket? What plans do you have and what would be to the better?</div><div><br></div><div>Please enlighten me, but what&#39;s the problem for &quot;the resource you&#39;re trying to convince&quot; of not contributing under the Seam umbrella. Why is it a problem for the wicket team to stay in sync with releases? Isn&#39;t it approx a year between every Wicket release?</div>



<div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>The idea is that if wicket 1.x is released, wicket-cdi 1.x will be released simultaneously.  In addition, as wicket evolves, the person most familiar with its evolution (Igor) will have responsibility for keeping the integration current.  Finally, wicket already supports other dependency injection frameworks (spring, juice) as wicket modules, so it makes sense for the cdi module to live alongside those, and will give cdi more exposure for those looking to use dependency injection in wicket.</div>

</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep. As I mentioned, there are other JBoss projects that are going this route as well:</div><div><br></div><div>* infinispan</div><div>* drools</div><div>* jbpm</div><div>* errai</div>

<div><br></div><div>This integrations are still embraced by Seam, and may rely on Seam common modules (i.e., solder and conversations), but the benefit is that the integrations are kept inline with the release of the project.</div>

<div><br></div><div>We are still fleshing out the logistics of how these modules will get worked back into Seam distributions, something we may discuss at the face-to-face.</div><div><br></div><div>This doesn&#39;t apply to all Seam modules, because either the module is enhancing a spec (Seam Faces, Seam Mail), using a project more than integrating into it (Seam International, Seam Cron), or the integrated project just doesn&#39;t have interest or initiative yet. The relationships will likely evolve over time.</div>
