Using wicket in a grails app

I am a HUGE fan of wicket.  Amazing how productive and awesome it is.  Anyway, I was developing a grails application as an example client to the stitches repository.  Ouch, which everything works, it's so tedious.  Loop here, fetch her, set this, get this.  Down to the nuts-n-bolts of an action-oriented framework.
Since the grails application is calling the stiches webservice as a client (using metro), most of the complexity happens in the web service, not the application.  No need for gorm and the other grails benefits.  So I am setting up my wicket app to run inside grails.
Yes, there is a grails plugin for wicket, but it's not for grails 1.1.  Check out the stitches-client if you want to see the code. 
 
Why am I still deploying this as a grails app?

• I would have to write a maven/ant script to war up my project still.  Grails does this for me
• Wicket support in grails will be comping soon in Grails 1.1 (with groovy 1.7)
• I still want to have a simple stitches example for non-wicket folks.
