Does this mean that the Tiles-code actually "in use" when using the plugin is = Tiles2 ?
Yes. If so, is Tiles2 stable enough to use i a business critial
application, or do I need to look for a alternative for Tiles (like Sitemesh) if I want to use Struts2?
I think a lot of people are using Sitemesh and other templating engines successfully with Struts 2, so that's definitely an option. Whether Tiles 2 is stable enough or not is a matter of opinion. It is a lot more stable than it was two months ago simply because we have released version 2.0.1. I think we are about to release 2.0.2. So I would say we are on track for a GA release - hopefully sometime in the next few months. I would have to say Tiles 2 is still experimental simply because we have not released anything we are comfortable calling GA. But the kind of sweeping API changes you've seen in recent months should be nearing an end. If you like the approach Tiles takes and you have a couple months of lead time, I think you could make use of it. Just subscribe to the Tiles lists and see where it goes. Having some real users with real needs is probably enough to motivate us to get a real release out :-) If you're not committed to the Tiles approach and you need something stable *right now* then you're probably better off with Sitemesh or something else.
