Now that Wicket is built on top of jQuery, does the Wicket project have a
stated policy on when that dependency will be updated?

I found the Wicket Ajax page (
https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/wicket-ajax.html) but it did not address
this.

I'm aware that I can override the default version included by Wicket.
However, I would prefer to use the jQuery version that is a) officially
supported by the team as well and b) ostensibly tested against by
supporting Wicket projects such as Wicket Stuff and WiQuery.

I can already infer that it's not "guaranteed to be the latest" as the
Wicket 6.x line is on 1.7.2 while 1.8.0 was released just under a month
before Wicket 6.0.0 was released (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery#Release_history), and the current
Wicket 6.2.0 is still on jQuery 1.7.2.

Please note that I'm not complaining; in fact, the stability of the jQuery
dependency can be considered a positive.

In my particular case, once upgraded to Wicket 6, our project will
inevitably have non-Wicket-related jQuery code that depends on the version
of jQuery provided by Wicket. Knowing how stable that dependency will be
will help up plan the testing effort around future Wicket upgrades.

My guess is that the Wicket 6.x line will use jQuery 1.7.2, and only when
Wicket 7 is released will jQuery be upgraded to >= 1.8.0.

Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks,
Brian
