GSIP 149 - GeoServer Styling Page Improvements

Overview

The basic idea behind this proposal is to incorporate most of the features from the CSS Styles page (part of the CSS Extensions) into the main GeoServer styling page in order to improve the main page.

Additionally, once the core styling page has incorporated these features, the CSS Styles page would be deleted from the CSS Styling extension

Proposed By

Torben Barsballe

Motivation

The CSS Styling page has includes a number of features that would be very usefull on the main styling page, such as a map preview. In addition, now that the main styling page supports all style formats (SLD, CSS, YSLD), it does not make much sense to have a seperate CSS Styling page.

Backwards Compatibility

All proposed changes are limited to the GeoServer Wicket UI, so there are no backwards compatibility concerns from an API standpoint.

However, given the recent Wicket Migration, it does not seem feasible to backport these changes to earlier versions of GeoServer, even if this was desired (except perhaps GeoServer 2.9.x).
