Concerns of using jQueryUI and bootstrap on same page

I need some functionality provided by bootstrap http://getbootstrap.com/, and other functionality provided by jQueryUI https://jqueryui.com/.

Need I specifically look out for any potential conflicts?

Are there any general steps I could take to mitigate them?

EDIT. If you feel they should not be used on the same page and had to pick one or the other, please leave a comment.

EDIT 2. Can I use Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery UI at the same time? seems to "maybe" imply it could be. Comments in Using bootstrap and jqueryui on same page conflicts? state not to.

Have you thought about leveraging repositories that already exist? A quick search brings up JQuery UI Bootstrap

enter image description here

It's also found on Github, so you can fork it and modify to your hearts content.

There is a lot of overlap between Bootstrap and jQuery Ui. You can use them both together, but it requires care in your programming. This is something that we are using at my employer, so I know it can be done.

You also need to keep in mind that Bootstrap and jQuery Ui are fundamentally different in their use. Bootstrap operates under the declaritive model where you "decorate" your html with attributes and the Bootstrap JavaScript automatically hooks things up. In jQuery Ui, you have to manually code in JavaScript to attach the jQuery Ui functions to controls.

One way to minimize the overlap would be to use the custom download builder at http://jqueryui.com/download/. This way you would have a version of the jQuery Ui library has only the features that you absolutely want.
