Would it be better if there were a core wicket-annotation project that provides the basics (such as the scanner) and another project called wicket-automount (with wicket-annotation dependency)? That way other "future" projects can utilize the core capabilities without reinventing the wheel. This would also accommodate those who want a specific dependency for wicket-automount.

If I were a person wanting to find an easier way to mount pages, it wouldn't necessarily be obvious to check wicket-annotations. However, it would be more obvious if I saw something called wicket-automount.
