OSGi:
Some of the properties above would be better represented by OSGi (if you still want to use that)

  • import-package: org.wicket;version=1.3.3 (instead of Wicket-Minimum-Version)
  • export-package: com.mycomponent.demo <- by convention, look for 'DemoApplication' : WebApplication here
  • bundle-version: 0.1.1

reference: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2008/jw-03-osgi1.html?page=2

Wicket component jars should be fully self-describing, so i think wicket meta information has to be independent of any external technology such as maven or osgi. – Jonathan Locke
