Play 2.0 tips and tricks

To use Play Framework 2 with Twitter Bootstrap 2 :

• Build Play from last sources (near RC3) (Since less version has been updated to 1.2 )
• Copy bootstrap's less files into app/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap
• Add bootstrap/_ before each bootstrap.less import declaration and rename each file the same way ( This is the convention to not compile theses files while packaging compiled assets )
• Move bootstrap.less file into app/assets/stylesheets

This can be done with a script like this (run in app/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap)

for a in *.less; do mv $a _$a; done 
sed -i '|s|@import "|@import "bootstrap/_|' bootstrap.less 
mv bootstrap.less ../bootstrap.less`
