Compiling addons

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Dear All,

Why are the add-ons not precompiled? Users have to compile them for them selves with all the hassle and errors. I heard some arguments but I’d like to think if it’s possible for the Vaadin-base package it should also be possible for all add-ons.

I’d like to hear what you guys think about this subject.

Kind regards,
Hans Ham

Unfortunately GWT does not have possibility to “link” separate pieces together without complete recompilation. It would be great to be able to add such a feature to GWT, but there have not been any good solutions yet.
