CSS preprocessors are useful tools to build coherent CSS files. LESS is one of them.
To use it with Maven, we’ll use this LESS maven plugin.
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.lesscss</groupId> <artifactId>lesscss-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/less</sourceDirectory> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-html/v1/css</outputDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
