We have decided to remove really old modules from wicketstuff. These were
modules with integrations of 3rd party libraries that haven't had an update
in some cases over a decade (e.g. yui). These won't be published any more
by the wicketstuff project starting with release 10.12.0/11.0.0.

The reason for this is that each module costs time maintaining it, building
and releasing it, which is better spent elsewhere.

What to do when  you still depend on one of these modules?
- look for a supported alternative: each removed module's ticket linked
from https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/issues/1592 has an alternative
suggestion
- copy the code into your project and maintain the wicket side of things
yourself (the last commit with the modules:
https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/commit/7f9a3c8b904540e076511ef53ee49cb5275d1f0d
)

These are the modules that have been removed:
- wicketstuff-glassfish4-integration
- flot-parent
- htmlcompressor-parent
- googlecharts-parent
- openlayers-parent
- wicket-bundle-parent
- yui-parent
- wicket-facebook-parent
- jqplot-parent
- simile-timeline-parent
- gae-initializer-parent
- nashorn-parent
- wicket-datetime-parent
- wicketstuff-datetime-yui-parent
This list can also be found here:
https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/issues/1592.

I'd like to show my appreciation by thanking the original authors of these
modules and the long time maintainers for their work and efforts. It was
time to let these modules and integrations spend their time on the pastures
of a really nice farm in the countryside.

Thanks!
