That would be really useful for people who use GWT UiBinder and/or programmatic
layout of widgets. This is definitely something we support, but we're angling
toward ErraiUI for our demos and stuff. I think with ErraiUI, special row and
column widgets for Bootstrap wouldn't be super-useful.
One thing I definitely did run into with Bootstrap was that it's super-awkward
to use their jQuery addons in an ErraiUI project. All of the CSS is reusable,
but the logic in the plugin is difficult to include and invoke in a natural
way. I ended up recreating the popover plugin code in the Grocery List demo:
https://github.com/errai/errai/blob/master/errai-jpa/demos/errai-jpa-demo-grocery-list/src/main/java/org/jboss/errai/demo/grocery/client/local/PopoverContainer.java
It would be cool to have a module that provides the Bootstrap stylesheets plus
GWT reimplementations of all the jQuery plugins. That would help everyone no
matter it they're doing programmatic, UiBinder, or ErraiUI.
