Description

Wicket gzips its resources by default. The only exception is wicket-datetime module.
I think it is worth to use the same policy within wicket subprojects, especially taking into account that usage of DatePicker adds more than 100 Kb of uncompressed java scripts.

Here are an headers of request and response:
