You mean you will be
1. developing the applications with Wicket but
2. prototyping them using something else?

I would say that it is a whole another application development to
create such a prototyping toolbox. Why? Because it is a lot of work.
The wicket HTML templates are far from mock-up applications. You would
need to somehow strip the mock-up applications' functionality to get
the wicket templates.

If you are doing a lot of this, it might be useful to develop a tool.
However, it is pretty easy to strip a mock-up html application into
wicket templates by hand.. It would be pretty nifty, though, to have
such a Wicket IDE where you could define data sources for tables etc.
and replace these with dummy data to generate static mock-up pages.

But I would still say it is a huge project :)
