+1 Let's keep the Struts-Tiles code and Tiles-Velocity type code out of stand-alone tiles for the moment. I think a better time for moving those over would be once Tiles is established and released as an independent Jakarta Web Component. Personally, I doubt there would ever be a right time to

My time is very limited today so I'll respond quickly. 1) I want to get Tiles as close to a release as possible by J1, but it's a daunting task. The only huge effort is factoring out dependencies on the Servlet API, then testing. 2) I'm cool with joint up with the Jakarta Web
