I think that's the way to go too. By the way, have you thought of doing
part of the implementation as mixins, specially for specific widgets?
I can understand not wanting to modify the existing components by
default. Unfortunately you can't really mix the Tapestry CSS and the
Bootstrap CSS.
Why? What bad results did you have? Tapestry's CSS is just enough to make
the components not look bad out-of-the-box. I would never ever consider it
a CSS framework. In addition, using DOM rewriting (MarkupWriterFilter or
mixin, doesn't matter), you can remove the class attributes and add your
own.
I suspect this is true of any framework type CSS. They just fight with
each other consequently I think you are stuck with the all or nothing
approach. If you have other ideas I'd be happy to hear them.
Either way, as I said, Tapestry's CSS can be ignored, you just need to
cover yourself what it covered before.
As far as removing the got5-jQuery requirement I'm on the fence. While
Bootstrap will work without jQuery important things like dropdown menus
don't work without it. So again realistically I think you may be stuck
with the all or nothing approach.
I guess you can break it in two parts: one just with CSS, without any
dependencies beyond Tapestry, and the other with the JS stuff and
tapestry5-jquery dependency.
I have tried to make sure it will work with
both Prototype and jQuery so you don't have to throw out any Prototype
code.
Nice!
As far as the download I was thinking about Less but now that they have
the zip download I think I'm going to support that. I'll provide a
default but the idea is you just download the zip file and drop it in
your project. You don't even unzip it. You could also use Less if you
like.
If you provide the Bootstrap widgets as components or mixins, each one of
them will be able to @Import the needed CSS and JS files, so you can have
all them inside the JAR but each page import only what it really uses.
Gosh, I really wish I had the time to try Tapestry-Bootstrap. :( Maybe
next week. :)
