Hey Steve, Very interesting.
I started over from scratch. Still did not work, however, when I copy (manually) my .tml files down into ../target/classes/org/apache/tapestry5/tutorial/pages along with my .class files, the damn thing worked right away. I don't even have a /src/main/resources/org/apache/tapestry5/pages directory. See my working file setup below... http://old.nabble.com/file/p28539377/Java%2B-%2Btutorial1_src_main_webapp_WEB-INF_Index.java%2B-%2BEclipse%2B-%2B_Users_phil.mcquitty_Documents_personal_javacode-1.jpg So I guess the question is, "why do I not get the resources directory?" and why don't my initial .tml files from the mvn:generate command get placed there?
