Code generation saves time. I have previously created a JSF/Seam code
generator where the application does full JPA, AJAX, security, email etc.
See a live demo of example app:
http://demo.clickframes.org/tracker (it is 100% generated)

I am trying to create a similar code generator for Wicket. The idea is:
Write App Spec XML -> Generate Wicket App -> Customize -> Regenerate

I would incorporate Wicketopia or other existing RAD tool into my code
generator if that makes it easier. As an example, in the JSF/Seam plugin
that I wrote I used the Hibernate HBM -> DDL schema generation feature
(hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create).

I was playing with the Wicket hello, world example app. It took only a few
minutes to write the templates to generate such simple apps.
http://code.google.com/p/clickframes-wicket-plugin/source/browse/trunk/examples/helloworld/src/main/clickframes/autoscan/src/main/java/%24%7BpackagePath%7D/

I am now trying to other features like links, forms, etc. An approach of
possibly integrating with another RAD tool/framework is appealing.
