How to compile a Widget in Springboot?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI

Hi guys,

How do you compile your widgets in Springboot with Vaadin 8 using Netbeans? I have no problem if I just use plain Vaadin.

It shouldn’t differ if you have the same configurations in the pom.xml as you have in a regular Vaadin project created by the archetype, vaadin-archetype-application for example. The pom.xml hooks up Vaadin compilation to the regular lifecycle so that they will be triggered with a regular ‘mvn package’. You can manually do it by calling

mvn vaadin:update-theme vaadin:update-widgetset vaadin:compile vaadin:compile-theme Might be that you don’t need all of them there, because some of the later ones might ensure that the earlier ones are run. vaadin:update-widgetset scans for new addons in your classpath and adds them to the widgetsetdefinition so that they will be included. vaadin:compile actually compiles the widgetset.

This is from one of my project’s pom.xml that ensures that all of this happens in normal Vaadin projects.

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
                <artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${vaadin.plugin.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>update-theme</goal>
                            <goal>update-widgetset</goal>
                            <goal>compile</goal>
                            <!-- Comment out compile-theme goal to use on-the-fly theme compilation -->
                            <goal>compile-theme</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            ...
