Richard Kennard commented on FORGE-558:
---------------------------------------

+1 from me on anything that makes Forge more compelling.

However I'd be wary about this being part of the 'default scaffolding' (https://twitter.com/#!/lincolnthree/status/195524444494643200)? It kind of goes against our original mandate of 'only Java EE technologies'. We should be wary of introducing new conceptual weight which users either have to grok or pull out (if, for example, they don't like Twitter bootstrap).

>             Project: Forge
>          Issue Type: Feature Request

> Create scaffold based on http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
> The current Forge scaffold creates applications which are relatively plain, and un-inspiring visually. It would be fantastic if Forge could leverage the existing Bootstrap framework from Twitter to present a much simpler, more comprehensive HTML/JS/CSS starting point from which to develop an application.
> Sources for the existing scaffold templates can be found here:
> https://github.com/forge/core/tree/master/scaffold-faces/src/main/resources/scaffold/faces
> However, the plugin will need to be updated to copy over any new files (and to cease copyign those that become unused:)
> https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/scaffold-faces/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/scaffold/faces/FacesScaffold.java
> Several graphics may also need to be updated. And it's likely that the generated code will need styles applied to ensure proper layout:
> https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/scaffold-faces/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/scaffold/faces/metawidget/widgetbuilder/EntityWidgetBuilder.java
> This should be relatively straightforward, but will require thorough testing, Good luck!
