less.java

Java integration for the - The dynamic stylesheet language.

http://lesscss.org

• Minimal dependencies - Only 1 Rhino.jar

• Work with less files as if they were normal css files.

	<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.less" >

• CSS is generated on the fly.

• Results of parsing are cached, optimal production speed.

• Cache gets invalidated if any part of the less file (includes) changes. Like using direct CSS files.
