You will have to use bridge-servlet approach for that. As said the bridge-servlet will launch an equinox runtime and redirect your request to the "underlaying" http service. If you import the projects I mentioned into eclipse and then export them as plugin jar files into the plugins folder on the bridge "war" then you will be able to run your wicket application on any server. That is, if you mount the bridge servlet at *bridge*, then accessing the URL localhost:8080/bridge/demo-app should re-direct you to the previous wicket application. Of course, this is just the "big picture", and you will have to figure out the (sometime nasty) details by yourself. So in development you can use eclipse and for deployment you will to export any bundles you use to the a bridge war. This could be automated with an ANT file. There are some additional caveats, for some application servers, concerning class-loading if you plan to access things via JNDI from within the OSGi runtime...
About the console I think there is flag -console or similar that allows you to disable/enable the console or even tell which port to use. I do not recall the details right now...
