Jmeas Pls updated RAVE-1100:
----------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> Introduce Bower
> ---------------
>
> Key: RAVE-1100
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAVE-1100
> Project: Rave
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rave-portal
> Reporter: Jmeas Pls
>
> The problem:
> https://github.com/apache/rave/blob/angular/rave-portal-resources/src/main/webapp/static/script/requireConfig.js#L22-L37
> Why is this a problem:
> By hardcoding versions we make it more difficult to work with versions of
> these libraries. Bower, a client-side package manager, all but gives this to
> us for free.
> Using the ^ and ~ operators we get bug fixes/minor releases for free, and our
> dependency tree, no matter how complex, is automatically solved for us. At
> the moment we're just hoping that all of these versions play well together.
> Better yet, updating our dependencies with Bower is as simple as running
> `bower update`. To seal the deal we get great integration with a handful of
> free services that make our lives easier like Travis for CI and David to keep
> track of our dependencies.
> Last but not least, we can move dependencies like Bootstrap out of the repo.
> https://github.com/apache/rave/tree/angular/rave-portal-resources/src/main/webapp/static/css/bootstrap
> because they don't need to be in there.
> +1 to add Bower.
