Documentation or HowTo for using tobago?

Mini Howto

Demo Where i can find a Hello World example and a list of needed jars?

Please look at tobago-example-blank.

Does tobago run with the Sun RI?

Tobago should run with Sun RI and with MyFaces.

 Can I mix tobago and myfaces extensions in the same webapp?

Jsf only supports one renderkit (renderkitId) per page (f:view). Because tobago has it's own renderkitId you can't use any none tobago components that need a renderer.

 Can tobago replace tiles? Can I ignore tiles and sitemesh in the favor of tobago or not?

Tobago can not replace it. But sometimes you may not need it, when you are using Tobago. If you want to position and size your components automatically, you can do that with a Tobago LayoutManager. If you want your header and sidebar rendered without writing dublicate code, you may use JSP 2.0 tag files or tiles/sitemesh.
