Example Project using wro4j

This is a small example project which uses the build-time optimizations for a Java web project.

• Use JSHint and CSSLint to ensure code quality for JS and CSS
• Exclude JSHint and CSSLint for vendor code (e.g. jQuery)
• Use lesscss http://lesscss.org as a CSS meta framework
• concatenate und minify JavaScript and CSS

TODO

• Find a way to use uncompressed JavaScript and less source files in DEVELOPMENT mode (especially in JSF)
• Explain options and configurations (why I use lesscss maven plugin in and not wro4j, ...)
