Step 1 - pom.xml configuration for Vaadin 8
Maven setup
MPR is part of Vaadin, so the supported version of the project is set for you when importing the platform in your project. In other words, you only need to define the platform version:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-bom</artifactId>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
<version>23.5.12</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
-
and then declare the usage of
vaadin-core
andmpr-v8
:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>mpr-v8</artifactId>
</dependency>
Framework 8 dependency
When using MPR the minimum requirement for Vaadin 8 version is 8.6.0 or newer:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-server</artifactId>
<version>8.7.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>
<artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-elemental</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-themes</artifactId>
<version>8.7.0</version>
</dependency>
Note
|
You also need to remove the dependency on the vaadin-client-compiled , since a custom widget set is served by the MPR project.
|
Note
|
When using MPR you can’t use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for the widget set. This means that the configuration
<vaadin.widgetset.mode>cdn</vaadin.widgetset.mode> or <vaadin.widgetset.mode>fetch</vaadin.widgetset.mode> should be removed.
|
Maven Plugins
If not already added in your build section, you need to add the vaadin-maven-plugin
for it to manage the custom widget set.
Maven plugin version used at the moment is 8.7.0.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>8.7.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>resources</goal>
<goal>update-widgetset</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Vaadin 14 too requires a Maven plugin for processing frontend resources during development time.
Because the vaadin-maven-plugin
can only be defined with one version, you’ll have to use the
flow-maven-plugin
instead.
This forces you to manually define the plugin version,
since Maven doesn’t allow you to define a plugin version in the Bill-of-Materials (BOM).
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>flow-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-frontend</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Logging
To display Flow application logs, any slf4j implementation should be added to the project.
The easiest way would be to use slf4j-simple
dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.7.25</version>
</dependency>
Vaadin 7 compatibility package
If your project is using components from the Vaadin 7 compatibility package, then you also need to add:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-compatibility-server</artifactId>
<version>8.7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-compatibility-client</artifactId>
<version>8.7.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
