Description

I want to use panels in a generic way with no need to cast, if I use getDefaultModel and getDefaultModelObject.

This issue has been thoroughly discussed, and thats why Panel is currently not implemented using generics.
Please provide a class TypedPanel instead, that can be used interchangeably with Panel itself.

The Implementation could provide the following Methods:

public T getDefaultModel()
public T getDefaultModelObject()

That would make usage of typed panels much more cleaner.
