Erik, No such prejudice here: a Wicket with EJB 3+ archetype is a very good idea and I was already planning on us setting up an archetype for JBoss and wicket-javaee [1] (that "contrib" library just works by the way - we've used it with no problems so far on a couple of projects, one with JBoss - and IIRC RedHat finally did publish a decent Maven2 repo).
I have nothing against a link from the Wicket QuickStart page either, but we are not necessarily promising instantaneous support for users of these archetypes - the idea is just to provide a well-proven starting point for people wanting to skip the sometimes huge (and often off-putting) effort to work out how all these frameworks/libraries and the multitude of version play nicely together (not to mention figuring out all the transitive dependencies and how to best write tests and other, boiler-plate bootstraping code). By the way, we use these archetypes ourselves too, and they do save us plenty of time - it's one less (often non-trivial) thing to worry about when you start your project or just want to experiment with/learn how to use one of these frameworks/libraries.
