you're frustrating me, martijn... what "technology"?
it's just ClassLoader.getResources() and a highly wicket-specific xml
file that binds resources and loads classes.

looking for xml metadata, each package containing a
Components.xml file
a. each xml file is processed to register resources for any
components in the jar or classpath folder
b. the minimum format for this xml file would be something like:
<wicket-components>
<wicket-component class="wicket.whatever.MyComponent"
load="true/false">
<resources>
<package-resource path="images/foo.gif"
locale="en_CA" style="sporty"/>
...
</resources>
</wicket-component>
</wicket-components>
resources not registered using the <resource> declarations
for PackageResources would have to
be registered by setting load="true" and using a static
initializer block to do the work.
we can talk more about the format and where the info should
go, but the basic idea seems solid...
Sounds a lot like HiveMind, Oscar and/or Spring. Maybe we should
borrow the technology for this, instead of inventing our own lingua?
