importing and starting example code in wicket userguide Wicket 8.x with netbeans

Question

I am totally new to wicket. So I am following the userguide and try to run the example code. (wicket tutorial examples)

I am running the code in Netbeans 8.2 on ubuntu linux and have maven installed. When I import the example code it is recognized as a maven project but somehow it is not recognized as a Wicket app. It cannot run the project, saying that it can't find the main method.

When I create a Maven project via wicket quickstart everything works fine, when I open the folder in Netbeans it is recognized as Wicket and when I run the project I can see the homepage of the app.

Can you help me? How can I make the examples from the Wicket userguide run from within Netbeans?

Answer 1

Just found the problem.In Netbeans I changed the packaging from 'jar' to 'war'

(on project right-click -> properties -> general -> Packaging)

Now I can run the project within Netbeans and see the app in the browser
