Including the deps just doesn't increase the size to a double, but a 5
or 6 fold (iirc 65MB). The problem is with transitive deps that are
test/compile/provided scope (for instance Spring includes just about
the world).

The best way currently is to do it as we do now IMO. The current
direct deps are license compatible, but I really don't want to check
all transitive deps for license compatibility. The current examples is
already quite humongous in the dependency department.

I have proposed a couple of weeks ago to move examples out of the main
distribution, and make it a separate download, and do the same with
the quickstart. The benefit would be that the license requirements for
the main distribution download becomes smaller, only the stuff we
include in the sources ourselves.

Both the examples and quickstart would then include all necessary
runtime deps for building a wicket application (as described in
chapter 3 of wicket in action, and provided with wicket 1.2 until
now). This makes them easier to provide a license file for. I just
lack the time to make it so.

In short: I don't like the idea of adding an all libs project and make
it downloadable from Apache. We could make that a wicket stuff project
though but the size would resemble downloading a whole maven
repository.
