Description

The Wizard component org.apache.wicket.extensions.wizard is hard to utilize due to the following issues:

• the signature of the method
  protected FeedbackPanel newFeedbackPanel(String id)
  is too restricive. It could be modified into
  protected Component newFeedbackPanel(String id)
  This way programmers could plug in their own custom feedback panels (as in my case).

• the constructor of the class org.apache.wicket.extensions.wizard.WizardButtonBar:
  public WizardButtonBar(String id, Wizard wizard)
  should be refactored into
  public WizardButtonBar(String id, IWizard wizard)
  for obvious design reasons.
