In the past I've eyed Java Plugin framework, but opted to use OSGi,
but that would be overkill probably. However if you are not bound to a
servlet container, you might want to check out the Eclipse Rich Server
Platform, which comes with Wicket integration. I don't have experience
with that platform though.
Pico would be a nice choice. If you want to go more mainstream, you
might consider Spring 2. The maven people swear by plexus, but I doubt
it is suitable for web applications.
