It's more than what you can do with Tapestry ... it's also how you do it! Tapestry is a vastly productive environment. Java developers love it because they can make Java code changes and see them immediately ... no redeploy, no restart! And it's blazingly fast to boot (even when files have changed). Designers love it because Tapestry templates are so close to ordinary HTML, without all the cruft and confusion seen in JavaServer Pages. Managers love it because it makes it easy for large teams to work together productively, and because they know important features (including localization) are baked right in. Once you work in Tapestry there's no going back!

About Releases and Snapshots
Most users will want to use the latest stable release of Tapestry, and for that your best bet for new projects is to use the Quickstart Maven archetype to create your initial Tapestry project, as described on the Getting Started Introduction page. The Quickstart archetype generates a full, working project directory. For upgrading existing projects, just use the Maven dependency listed on the Download Introduction page.
You can also pull down Tapestry modules in the form of binary and source JARs from the Maven Central repository.
