Problem one: yet another XML dialect to learn
Problem two: you are solving something with writing our own code, which
is perfectly solved by at least HiveMind through
plugins/DI/IoC/whatchamacallit.
That's technology in my book ;-).
But it was mere a suggestion, not throwing a door shut. I'd hate to see
XML configuration files being put into Wicket. That would mean I'd have
to go through my presentations and scrap the 'no configuration hassle'
quotes.
I'd like us to find a Java programming construct to solve the problem at
hand, and not make it into a configuration problem.

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?
