Hi Eike, Sorry that we broke OSGi support again. The problem was that many users wanted -sources and -javadoc for the aggregate .jar and it became a bit complex and confusing.
I think we can add wicket-osgi project in wicketstuff/core repository that will do the same we did initially in WICKET-3088 and then you will use org.wicketstuff:wicket-osgi dependency instead. We release wicketstuff core projects few days after Wicket releases.
