Thanks. I will look at the maven archetype. More than just pages, I am looking at links, forms, inputs etc. For example, to create a link I am either use <a href=""> in the HTML, or I can use Wicket link component model, what's the difference and which one should I use?
Btw, my goal is to automatically generate a working Wicket app with full database integration using JPA and security integration as well. The Seam code generation project that I did was a success, you can write a spec like this one: http://code.google.com/p/clickframes-seam-issuetracker-demo/source/browse/trunk/src/main/clickframes/appspec.xml and instantly get a working app like this: live demo link: http://demo.clickframes.org/tracker Of course you can add/remove pages from the app by changing the appspec xml. I am trying to replicate the same thing for Wicket, hoping to get some help from user community!
