Re: Apache tiles

roller would need some updates before it can go beyond struts 2.5.29:

https://github.com/apache/roller/pull/119#issuecomment-1344814362


probably easy to do but I never got to it. (bump the version and you 
should see failing integration tests)

the bootstrap dependency is also locked to 3.4.x AFAIR due to breaking 
changes which may or may not prevent other updates in future.

other then that I tried to keep the dependencies somewhat up2date, i 
think jakarta.persistence is already in use via eclipse link etc.

best regards,

michael
