Less language is an extension of css and less4j compiles it into regular css. Less adds several dynamic features into css: variables, expressions, nested rules, and so on. Less was designed to be compatible with css and any correct css file is also correct less file.
We have been using less4j in our workflow for years and it works perfectly for our use-case. From time to time we run into incompatibilities with newer CSS/Less constructs, but most of the time they can be worked around.
This week we hit a roadblock with CSS variables. It's still possible to use them with less4j by creatively using escapes and less variables, but it looks and feels wrong.
It should be quite straightforward to add support for this to the grammar used by Less4j.
So my question is this @SomMeri: What is the current state of the project? I'm guessing you are not maintaining it anymore, but would you be willing to accept pull requests? I would very much prefer to contribute back to this project instead of creating another fork.
