If Tiles 2 becomes "the IoC engine for the view layer", as I tried to explain some time ago, it probably will be an innovative project. But in this case, SB-86 needs to be fixed. But probably an alpha version can be released, leaving "revolution" for a later change. Just to complete the view, what prohibits me to use Tiles 2 together with Sitemesh? For example, using the composition capability of Tiles 2 together with decoration capability of Sitemesh? In conclusion, after fixing the blocking issues, I think that an alpha can be released, but users should be warned that SB-86 will replace a feature that Tiles 1.1 had and that currently there is no replacement for it.
But the point is that an Alpha *cannot* be released while Tiles is still in the Struts sandbox. Either we need to graduate Tiles out of the sandbox, or Tiles needs to find a new home. The latter seems to be going from the frying pan into the fire, so I'd suggest the former as an interim step. -- Martin Cooper Ciao
