I also did the migration... developer time = money, so this is a very valid concern, but Tapestry 5 is worth it! You will gain in productivity in the long run. From 5 onwards backwards compatibility is to be maintained.

That depends on your situation / view of course, but let me mention that we have been very pleased with Tapestry 5, running in production for at least a year now, at first on snapshots (we took the chance), and have had no show-stoppers, in fact we found Tapestry 5 in general is very stable.

My experience with several application upgrades, that I have taken part in the past several years: T3 -> T4 Was not that easy, but managable. T4 -> T5 Done that for two apps. That was easy. We ended up writing some code (component libraries) new, but that was not that hard and time consuming, because many concepts used in T4 translate to T5 very well. > So is there any information on regards to whether Tapestry 6 being rehauled > again ?
