title: Wicket & CSS resources
body: <p>I've been looking around and I can't find a dummy's guide to adding my own CSS to a Wicket website project. But before I start... I'm fairly new to proper java development, so when I say "Dummy's guide" I really mean it! Simple and clear explanations for me here are very much appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>I started with this guide here (<a href="http://wicket.apache.org/start/quickstart.html">http://wicket.apache.org/start/quickstart.html</a>) and have that running fine. Next up, I want to add my own CSS and start messing about with it. And I'm getting nowhere fast. Mainly because I haven't got a clue how to do this in java (I come from a C#/asp.net background).</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, those that know Apache Wicket will know this already, but the source for the quick start creates your code in a place like follows <code>project/src/main/java/com/xyz</code></p>
  
  <p>What I presumed I could do was add a CSS folder here... so I created a sample CSS and I stuck it here like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>project/src/main/java/com/xyz/css/conor.css
  
  (containing something real simple like the following)
  
  h2 {
      font-family: tahoma;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I removed the Wicket default css in my homepage.html and changed it to reference mine as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="css/conor.css" type="text/css" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But my page doesn't take any heed of the conor.css... Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but cannot find a step by step guide for a java dummy (aka me!).</p>
  
  <p>I have read things like you need to install web tools for eclipse. I did have no idea what use this is to me or why it will instruct my pages to use the CSS. </p>
  
  <p>Any help is very much appreciated!</p>
