Description

Break-up the monolithic css stylesheet in a set of smaller components, to ease the maintainability and extendability and redesign the current system of skins.

CSS merging and minification is now supported via JSPWIKI-761, based on WRO4J.
Also LESS, a dynamic CSS preprocessor, will be introduced supporting advanced capabilities such as variables, mixins, operations etc.

The refactoring will be build upon the structure and concepts of one of the most popular CSS frameworks, BOOTSTRAP (3.0), an HTML/CSS framework from Twitter (Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton). It provides solutions for cross-browser compatibility, responsive web designs and a bag of UI components to shop from.
Bootstrap is released under the Apache 2 license.

This will allow to simplify the default template *.jsp's of JSPWiki.
