GSIP 149
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

This proposal is for GeoServer 2.10 and later.

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.
The style editor is effectively identical between the Style and CSS Styles page, so this will be retained as-is.
The tabbed interface from the CSS Styles page will be added at the top of the Styles page.
- A new tab will be added for the Style configuration (Name, workspace, format, legend etc.).
- The generated SLD tab from the CSS page will be removed. A link to the Styles endpoint may be added to replace this functionality.
- The Map preview tab will be retained, but will be upgraded to use OL3 instead of OL2
- The Data (layer attributes) tab will be retained, although it may be renamed for clarity.
- The CSS Reference tab will be removed
The new page (with tabs) will look aproximately like:
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).
