New library to integrate any CSS framework with GWT

Hello Everyone,

I come up here to let you know about a library i build, aiming at integrating efficiently any CSS framework with GWT.

This allows your application to type-safely use Sass, Less, Susy, GSS, vanilla css or any other.

From the developper point of view, it works almost the same way as CssResource which is the default in GWT.


Benefits :

 - you can use any css framework and not only GSS (especially Sass and Less have a very good variable and mixin systems)
 - you can bind multiple CSS files to one GWT application. This allows you to theme your application in a very effective way
 - you can then switch your application theme dynamically without reloading the application
 - there is still optimization happening : non used CSS classes will be pruned. Also there is name obfuscation, for reducing CSS file size
 - the API is very similar to CssResource so you don't have much to learn to use it.

The product page is here : http://www.lteconsulting.fr/hexacss/
The product page tells you how to use it, how to build it. It has three use case demos.
The project is hosted on github : https://www.github.com/ltearno/hexa.tools

Of course, it is open source and will stay so !

Stay tuned, because i have other announcements to make soon

Please tell me if you find the idea interesting and if it might help you. I also very much welcome anyone wishing to contribute to this project !

Thanks
