Thank you all for suggestions. Finally I have used Wicket's org.apache.wicket.IInitializer (as pointed Martin) together with org.apache.wicket.Application.setMetaData(MetaDataKey<T> key, Object object) for configuration.
Implementing more complex solution is not necessary unless you need advanced runtime plugin mechanism. For custom plugin CSS/JS I use metadata and render all extra resource references on pages. Images are mounted as shared resources. It works, but for large amount of images it will not be efficient. Question: do you know a better Wicket-way to handle custom images?
