I don't agree with wicket-contrib-data being obsolete. What happened is that I created some basic Hibernate support classes last year, and that other people commented that they didn't like them so much, and wanted to add alternatives. From there it grew into the bunch a quasi related classes it is now. I still think classes like HibernateObjectModel are pretty useable. You may argue about how elegant the choices as hibernate session delegate etc are, and you may even argue that it is not best practice to bind to Hibernate in your view layer. But not every project has to display the perfect seperation of (service) layers and these classes gives users the opportunity to go for a more RAD approach. Depending on how much Phil (and did other people work on that project?) wants to keep, we could do a clean-up and keep only the classes we still think are usuable.
We don't have to promote the project as best practices, but saying it's obsolete goes a bit too far.
