Thought I'd weigh in again with my thoughts in case it helps anyone. Whilst I love what you've done here, sadly it doesn't work for our workflow - rebuilding a website after every stylesheet change isn't practical. Our front-end development workflow requires something that automatically shows the stylesheet changes in the browser without having to rebuild. I'm currently

Have it working in VS2010 (just add an entry to the addin file :)) Works perfectly...nice one! You can also add the less extension for VS2010 and get syntax coloring :)

@Thomas - The version of less I am including is older and does not have the imports. I attempted to update to the latest today, but they changed the API. I fixed that and then there were problems building.

Anyway, I will get it fixed shortly and republish the updates along with all the source.

While splitting up the less.css file, we want to keep the variables in one place. We've created an variables.less.css, and we're trying to include that in other less.css file using @import. Only problem is, it does'nt work. The whole @import seem to have no effect.

Any ideas?

North-Courier,
Sounds like you have a problem with you .less file. Try just renaming a regular .css file (with no less options in it) and see if it works properly. If so, add your less options in until you see what the problem is. Additionally, I am going to try to publish the source in the next week or so.

@Anonymous: The plugin has a list of files to watch and related config files, so when they change it can rebuild the style sheet. I do not see your config file, did not post to blog I guess?

Do you have multiple config files? This is supported - but not tested much. I will be glad to help find this bug if want to help?

I've been surfing around this afternoon looking for some best-practice/workflow to help us with our ever-increasing css bloat.

Just stumbled upon your solution and can't wait to give it a go.

Woops...thanks for correction. ;-)

"This has it roots in java (like almost everything we do)."

Actually, lesscss is a ruby gem. There IS a java port out there I think, and a PHP one. But it has its roots in Ruby, not Java.

Nice story overall though, thanks for the exposure!
