We like opinions around here :), even if they are different than our
own. Thanks for the feedback, we really do take it seriously.
I don't think that "each is dependant on the other". The modules that I
think we all see coming in the near future are:
tiles-api
tiles-core
tiles-jsp
tiles-freemarker
tiles-velocity
In this case, api and core are depended on by the other three, however,
the other three are not dependent on each other. Keeping them separate
from each other seems to make it easy to develop without introducing
unnecessary dependencies between them. This builds better software.
Modern build tools seem to make this easy, however, if your sys admin is
really manually deploying versions of libraries to different webapps,
than I can see your pain. If there are more people out there with this
concern we coupld provide a jar which groups them all together
(tiles-all.jar) like spring does.
Please feel free to submit a patch to create such a jar with maven.
We'd love to see what you come up with . . .and work to make tiles meet
your needs.

All software includes garbage that you don't want. Look at any library out
there. The beauty IMO is in the ease of implementation. We are currently
switching from JSP to JSF and as time goes by I think you will see more people
making the switch once they realize the simplicity of JSF. So now you have a
jar called -JSP, should it be JSF?
It may be all semantics but you really can't use tiles-jsp alone. So if each
is dependant on the other then why not have them combined? I can't really see
an argument that there would be a tiles-jsf, tiles-jsp, tiles-php, and
tiles-aspx. If I am irritating anyone let me know but I am trying to
contribute to what I believe is an excellent tool.

That's my thought as well. If we break them up it's trivial in Maven to
include everything we need. If we bundle them all together it's non-trivial
to try to exclude the stuff you don't want.
