It's obviously not super desirable but I found the relevant Github issue
(https://github.com/SomMeri/less4j/issues/160) and stepped through, fixed the
few small issues
that were causing infinite loops and less compilation errors just temporarily
for the time being so that we can fix up the class name usage in our projects.
Just watch out for things like;
.something {
.something();
} (infinite loop; so just copy paste the contents of .something() from either
mixins.less or utilities.less)
And mixin declarations whose variables end in a ;
.somemixin(@someVar;)...
(Just remove the trailing ;)
We're now done changing bootstrap 2 class names to bootstrap 3 ones and the
like. It wasn't too painful.
It strikes me that there's no really good source or best practice for
maintaining customized bootstrap less.
Does anyone here have any ideas?
For the time being we maintain a variables.less and bootstrap.less for each
project. So we have variables-project.less, bootstrap-project.less.
variables-project containing overridden variables from the vanilla
variables.less and bootstrap-project.less including variables-project.less and
allowing us to
further shim in modifications to other bits of bootstrap.
We'd ideally like to chop up and load only the necessary less files depending
on what's in use on the page. For instance if we're only using the
navbar, include a less file importing only the dependent less files for the
navbar.
Getting a bit OCD about all this. o_O
Thanks again Howard! Looking forward to the first beta!

There's outstanding bugs in Less4J that they are in the process of
correcting, to support compilation of Bootstrap 3.
