Hi, CssResoourceReference uses the passed Class as a scope, i.e. it is something like TheClass.class.getResourceAsStream("theNameOfTheResource.css"). If you put your .css file at src/main/resources/ then at runtime it is at the root of the classpath. I.e. to load it you need to use TheClass.class. *getClassLoader()*.getResourceAsStream("theNameOfTheResource.css"). Wicket doesn't provide out of the box ResourceReference that loads from the classpath root, mainly because we recommend to organize your resources to reside close to the component(s) which use them.
Quick solution for you is to use org.apache.wicket.request.resource.MetaInfStaticResourceReference and move your .css file at src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/. /META-INF/resources/ is a special place for resources defined in Servlet 3.0 specification. That's why it is supported in Wicket. Have fun!
