Haha, sorry but it seems some of the Wicket community are still living in Lala land with regards to believing everything deployed to production has to be written in Java. It is 2007, the realisation that Java is not the best language for web apps has hit home for years now. A good language for writing a lot of your business logic yes, but your business logic and web logic are two different things and if you're mixing them you're already making mistakes right there.
Btw, About the WicketBuilder, this person already has the concept down: http://bigheadco.blogspot.com/2007/03/wicket-and-groovy.html A combination of the Grails plug-in, a WicketBuilder, automatic reloading at dev time would make Wicket+Grails the first RAD and agile component framework. It is probably worth time investing in for Wicket, if there are some interested devs. It would be a big selling point over heavy weights like JSF and Tapestry (although we could make a similar Grails + Tapestry 5 integration, not sure about JSF, it is heavyweight in multiple layers).
