There is a tantalizing article in the Turbine 2 User Guide regarding
Turbine's skinning feature:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/JakartaTurbine2UsersGuide/TurbineSkins

The article is fairly recent, but the folder layout described in the
article is created through the TDK only, not by META (at least, not
through the simple turbine:setup goal). So I'm wondering if the skinning
feature itself, accessed in Velocity templates with $ui, is on the way
out; does anyone recommend using it to build skinned applications with
Turbine?

well, the /resources folder is set up, but you should be able to create
the sub directory by yourself.

The $ui tool must be activated and I don't think that it is by
default. So you must uncomment the tool.ui. line in the
TurbineResources.properties

I haven't used this tool in any of my applications yet. Code examples
wanted.

I would also add that the UIService in cvs under proposals is a much more flexible implementation - see: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-turbine-2/proposals/seade/UIService/readme.txt?rev=1.1&view=markup

I would actually like to get this in as a replacement for the existing service for 2.4. Unless anyone has any objections I will replace the existing code with that in the proposal and add the missing documentation (I was sure there was xdoc documentation for the UIService, but it appears there is not).
