Hi,

This is related to the currently running vote about OSGi problem with
split packages in sub-modules (-util, -request and -core).
Sven Meier - today, James Carman - few months ago, and few other
people doubted about the decision to split wicket.jar in sub-modules.
I believe this is the way to go and I even want to propose "a
solution" which is closely related to approach 2) in the other thread.
With approach 2) these sub-modules will be merged/shared back into one
uberjar (wicket.jar) which will be the same as in Wicket 1.4.
Additionally I suggest to set 'skip=true' setting of
maven-deploy-plugin for the sub-modules. This way they wont be
deployed in Maven repos and will be something that only Wicket devs
know and care about. The users will see only the merged wicket.jar and
the other "normal" modules like -extensions. -ioc, -spring, etc.
We already discussed this in IRC and Brian Toppings patch contain
these changes but I'd like to have more opinions before doing it.
