Refresher

Same problem, Eclipse didn’t do auto-compile widgetset even if I put refresher jar into the lib, how can I do a manual compile?
I use vaadin: 6.4.8, Eclipse plug-in: just updated today. but I didn’t see the auto compile happening when I drag the refresher jar onto WEB-INF/lib/

In the toolbar, you have a button with the symbol of a cog and a little Vaadin logo on top of it. It compiles the widgetset. Select the project or an existing widgetset (in the Project Explorer) before requesting widgetset compilation.

If the project has no widgetset of its own and you add a widget, you need to create a widgetset. If I remember correctly, simply selecting a project that has no widgetset and clicking on “compile widgetset” should create you one and update it if necessary; otherwise, create one by hand based on a template from
the book
; it will be automatically updated to refer to the add-ons you are using.

Thanks. but I am still stuck here. don’t know how to work it out. The questions are:

1. Why drag refresh.jar file onto WEB-INF/lib/ in Eclispe didn’t trigger a widgetset auto compliation? I see the guide is saying the auto-compliing will happen when doing file, is something wrong in my Eclipse configuration?
2. Just like a suggestion – Why the Add-on (like Refresher) itself doesn’t contain the needed widgetset but refresher-1.1.0.jar, so that the user doesn’t need to care widgetset compiling thing, just enjoy the Add-on;

I also didn’t see anything added under \WebContent\VAADIN\widgetsets\ folder after I had refresh.jar added into the lib folder.

I now can see the cog icon, while when I click it, it just popop error message - either like “select a widgetset file …” or “Error compiling widgetset, CoreException, Unable to locate WebContent folder …”

Do I need to create some xml file first then I can use Refresher Add-on?
Appreciate help again.
