addon - loginform - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ejt/vaadin/loginfor

Hi,

I am trying to use loginform addon : https://vaadin.com/directory#addon/loginform:vaadin

I downloaded the jar from the same link and placed the jar to a local directory. Then I added following entry in pom.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.vaadin.loginformaddon</groupId>
            <artifactId>com.loginformaddon</artifactId>  
             <version>0.3.3</version> 
              <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>D:\dev\loginform-0.3.3.jar</systemPath>
        </dependency>

After deploying quicktickets dashboard to local tomcat, I got following exception despite I can see loginform jar in maven dependencies :

WARNING:

Do I have to configure class loaders for this?

The system scope means that maven assumes the JAR file is found on the server classpath already, an thus will not provide it during deployment. See scope definitions e.g. here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
.

You need to change the scope of the dependecy to ‘compile’ for maven to deploy the file.
