From time to time an exception dialog opened. This happens from time to time, but it seems not to influence the IDE stability. It is a known bug.

The re-deployment of Wicket + EJB 3 + JPA in background works surprisingly well. Changes in Java files were recognized correctly - the deployment of about 15 EJB3 Session Beans, 55 JPA Entities, about 20 Wicket pages and panels takes about 1 second - to few seconds on Glassfish v2.1.

Changes in the HTML pages in the src folder in the WAR-projects were not recognized. After changing the HTML-files you will have to redeploy the project manually.

The wicket plugin is helpful and saves time - I keep to use it with Netbeans 6.8m1 in "production".
