CDI Properties contains individual annotations for each Vaadin core component that allow you to define a set of properties right above the injection point. ...so instead of: TextField textField = new TextField("Name"); textField.setMaxLength(15); textField.setNullRepresentation(""); textField.setWidth("100%"); ..you can: @Inject @TextFieldProperties(caption = "Name", maxLength = 15, nullRepresentation = "", width = "100%") private TextField textField; Use properties "captionKey" and "labelValueKey" to assign text values provided by your own TextBundle bean. Fire a @TextBundleUpdated event to utilize the built-in i18n functionality allowing you to change your applications language run-time. The add-on can only be used in Vaadin CDI enabled projects.
