Jim, while using Java 8 features in Wicket is an attractive idea, Wicket 8.x is the development branch and only SNAPSHOTs are available: http://wicket.apache.org/start/wicket-8.x.html
Unless we also want to become Wicket developers, I think we should build GeoServer on current supported Wicket (7.x releases). Wicket 7.0 was only released in July: http://wicket.apache.org/news/2015/07/28/wicket-7.0-released.html Kind regards, Ben.
