Hi Team, We are currently managing an application which was developed using Apache Wicket. Recently, we had upgraded our application from Wicket 6.30 to 8.11. Considering the amount of time we spent for upgrade and lack of wicket skilled developers, its becoming hard to maintain the application. We are planning to migrate the application from Wicket to AngularJS. Please advise on the best approach and any tools which can migrate wicket components to Angular and Spring components.
Thanks, Satya

Apache Wicket Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Apache Wicket?
Spring MVC
A Java framework that follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern and provides an elegant solution to use MVC in spring framework by the help of DispatcherServlet.
Vaadin
It is the fastest way to build web applications in Java. It automates the communication between your server and the browser and gives you a high-level component API for all Vaadin components
AngularJS
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
Spring
A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.
Django
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
