If you're using Struts Tools with WSAD or WSSD and you're having
problems with Tiles, check your build. Here's why:

I suspect the reason why GA works and EA didn't is a change in WAS
(the appserver, WebSphere Application Server). In EA, WAS actually
shipped with a Struts runtime (that WAS used). Under some conditions,
your application would pick that up in preference to the runtime you
specified in the tooling.
In GA, that problem was fixed, plus

we moved Struts Tools (which is basically an Eclipse plugin) from WSED
(a higher-level product than WSAD, i.e. it contains more plugins) down
to WSSD (a lower-level product, i.e. it contains fewer plugins than
does WSAD). So at EA, a WSAD user would need to add Struts Tools to
use them, while at GA, a WSAD user would already have Struts Tools.
<whew/>Too much product-configuration explanation :-)
Anyway, thanks to Eric for figuring this out.
