Hi Martin,

thanks for your response and no need to apologize! It's good to have rcX
candidate releases to play with so issues can be found.

For me a wicket-osgi dependency would be great! And I really don't care
about where to download :) I don't think that providing it from wicketstuff
would bother users...

If you decide to not support osgi out-of-the-box, it's still no problem
to create an aggregate jar myself. I'd think most osgi users have to do
this (unfortunately) quite often to add other  "no-bundle-jars". But
with a distributed jar, it's of course a lot easier - I would appreciate
it (as probably other osgi users would).

regards,
Eike
