Some news. Less4j 1.9.0 has been released recently and fixes the blocker points we had before.
At first, I wanted to add an option to be able to chose which version we want to use in XWiki: the official lessjs or the java port less4j. But I have changed my mind since lessjs have a lot of limitations that less4j does not: - it only handle files, so when I want to include a template (from a skin document for example), I have to create a temporary directory and to put a copy of this template there. It is not clean and complicated to maintain [1]. - it has some bugs that less4j does not [2]. - we are currently blocked to the version 1.7.x because recent versions of lessjs does not work with Rhino [3]. On the other hand, using Less4j is really simple and faster. So I update the proposal and I propose now to only use Less4j and get rid of the lessjs/rhino solution.
