LESS css or SCSS in GWT

Question

Has anyone been able to integrate the wonderful shorthanded syntax of LESS with the awesomely module, re-factor friendly and type-safe CSS of GWT UiBinder?

<ui:style with="com.lesscss.gwt">
    .selector{
        /* Can I haz LESS in here? */
     }
</ui:style>

Naturally, you can use LESS with GWT -- You just have to use non-compiled css. I want my css to go through the LESS compiler, and then the GWT compiler.

Answer 1

There are no direct libraries for that, no.

LESS doesn't even have a java compiler, so I really don't think it's ever going to happen.

Suppose you could write a pre-compile routine that will go through your ui.xml files, compile contents of ui:style nodes and put the compiled versions back. Then you will run into continuous problems with your IDE complaining about improper CSS code.
