Well, also the Vaadin 6 project wizard tries to fetch the latest Vaadin JAR from the download site.
You don’t need the project wizard to create a Vaadin project, although it does require various manual steps. You can:
[list=1]
[]
Create a “Dynamic Web Project” in Eclipse.
[]
Add the libraries to the class path (such as in WebContent/WEB-INF/lib) - certain libraries should not be deployed, such as the client compiler, but put to a different place in the class path. See
here
for Vaadin 7. For Vaadin 6, you need the appropriate GWT libraries.
[]
Create the Vaadin UI class (or Application in Vaadin 6) as
described in the book
or any example code
[]
Define the web.xml deployment descriptor or the servlet class annotated with @WebServlet as
described in the book
.
[*]
If you want to use the Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse to compile the widget set, etc, you can add the facet to your project in the project properties.
