---------------------------------------

George,

That's cool. I haven't used Twitter bootstrap so apologies if I'm speaking out of turn.

Just so long as the developer doesn't look at the generated project and say 'what is this non-standard thing here? Oh it's Twitter bootstrap. I guess I'll have to go grok that project before I can edit this generated code'. IMHO this would apply even if Twitter bootstrap is just a bunch of CSS/JS/JQuery stuff. It's still stuff that the developer may not necessarily want in their end project.

But it's your call. I only mention it as 'no external libraries' was an explicit requirement of the original UI scaffolding. And I'd think this would extend to the JS side too.

Regards,

Richard.

> 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!
