Wicket 10 migration

Wicket 9 doesn’t support jakarta, to support jakarta we have one of two choices

• # Fork wicket 9 and add jakarta support ourselves: which adds several risks, one of them is the uncertainty of the amount of work needed for that, and the second is the disconnection from further upgrades by wicket and having to maintain the fork ourselves forever
• # Upgrade to wicket 10: Wicket 10 is not yet released. Although there are talks of releasing it in the next few weeks (source), there are no official promises with a release date as of yet. Wicket 10 comes with some backward incompatible changes too that will require code changes (there’s a migration guide available here). 

(note we are on 10.0.0-M2 now on the Jakarta branch)

Check https://github.com/apache/wicket/tags if 10.0.0 has been released.

[edit] Wicket 10.0.0 is out, see https://wicket.apache.org/news/2024/03/11/wicket-10.0.0-released.html
