Tried it out this morning, here is my quick assessment:
I like the new asset paths. I'll try and build an Amazon CloudFront CDN
this week. I did notice the scripts included by require.js do not have the
checksums in the urls. Is that correct?
I had one problem getting it to run. I had to add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.7.2</version>
</dependency>
to my pom file. It appears to be in tapestry-core but marked test.
I tried Grid with a few Bootstrap styles and it did what I expected. I'm a
big fan of the new Bootstrap css.
I tried BeanEditForm and have a question about it. Unfortunately Bootstrap
changes the markup for forms when the class is form-horizontal. It appears
BeanEditForm always outputs the markup for form-horizontal so the other
form styles do not work correctly.
I'll try and build something real this weekend.
Thanks
Barry
