A significant change from the earlier Wicket 1.4 milestone versions is that Component is no longer generified. This means that Component and most of its subclasses in Wicket do not take a class-level type parameter. Some Component subclasses remain generified, such as Link, Form, FormComponent, ListView, etc. You can read more details regarding these changes here:

• http://www.nabble.com/generics-to18083910.html#a18083910

We feel that this might provide a good middle ground between being unable to add typing to IModel on one hand and a proliferation of unneeded typing information on modelless components on the other hand. Your feedback is appreciated!
