Re: New library to integrate any CSS framework with GWT

I am curious to the reaction of the gwt dev team member.

Maybe you should drop this in the contributor gwt forum.

I like your approach but ......

In my experience css/html should be put as much as possible outside of gwt, and the html/css should by lazy loaded when needed, a bit like RedHat errai is using. Some advantages:

1) Flexibility: changing html/css with changing code. 

2) Css/Html experts are much easier to find.

3) Faster changing of css. Css changes in gwt are not always fast because java isn't well suited for it, java is verbose, especially when working with themes (references from css to static methods for example).

4) Better integration/binding of the html/css with existing published cms files (json/xml)

...

This results in a much higher productivity, especially when you have all clients wanting their own themes/styling, and gwt developers are very hard to find. (I tried different approaches: putting all css/html inside gwt (cssresource), outside, a mixture, etc..)

I would love to see that GWT core incorporate some of the Errai templating/binding mechanisms in the future.

(I am planning to play with some of the errai mechanism and make it work with my current cms xml files I use... I just have to find some time :(

just my 50 cents.
