A new open-source framework aimed at simplifying the development of Java-based Web applications will debut at JavaOne Monday with support from a former Sun Microsystems Java evangelist.

Wicket, an open-source project founded in spring 2004 by Jonathan Locke, a member of the team that developed the JFC (Java Foundation Classes)/Swing framework, will introduce Wicket 1.0 next week at the annual Java developer confab, according to a press statement from the Wicket project.
