Hi Rick, bjester, anyone else who's interested: As promised, I have uploaded a very trivial app which integrates Shale and Tiles using the new code which David Geary committed a couple of days back (btw, I built the jars here using the source from a couple of days back.. so am not sure if they are different from what's available now..):
http://www.sightsoftware.com/shale/ Please note that I am a complete newbie at this whole Shale thing so it is perhaps best not to learn any Shale using this app..:) Also, you will doubtless find better ways of doing almost everything I've done. All comments and suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks! Geeta
