Hi, In my tests I found that Tomcat 7 serves static files from META-INF/resources directory 2-3 times faster than wicket. So if performance is important I think it is worth it. I am pragmatic about it: maybe it is bad to not hold everything in the same directory but this is a feature that fits wicket pretty well (bundling static files in jars) so it would be worse to not use it.
