Tiles2 libraries

[ron]

Hi,

try to add apache tiles2 to my project and got bunch of dependency
errors.. any way to bypass savant just download those jars to my
project directly? Also, any other good alternatives for layout
libraries that work with freemarker?

I use SiteMesh for everything. It works fine with FreeMarker, but
until SiteMesh 3.0 is complete the decorators have to be JSPs. If you
are looking for something to construct some areas of a site that are
re-usable, you can create FTL macros or include files and use those.
You can also create a custom JCatapult tag if need be.

Savant's support for Maven's POMs is definitely not the best. I
doesn't handle variable replacement and other similar issues. It looks
like that is the issue you are having. Probably best just to put Tiles
into the Savant repository.
