Upgrading these kind of things in a stable release is not preferred.
Like Gerolf says: it is unclear which dependencies these projects
have, whether they have Java 5 deps etc.

Upgrading to maintenance versions should be ok but frowned upon, minor
or major version upgrades should not be done at all in a maintenance
release. The only caveat is when a bug in a dependency has a direct
impact on wicket code, and the bug is only solved in a minor or major
version update.
