I use Shale, MyFaces, and Tiles and am very satisfied with that combination. I try to stay fairly current using the Shale nightly builds (I am currently using 20070817). My versions are Shale 1.1.0, MyFaces 1.1.5, Tomahawk 1.1.5, and Tiles "tiles-core-2.0-r468346-SNAPSHOT.jar". Excerpts from my files follow:
