We have been working hard with a renewal to our Eclipse plugin. The largest effort has been proper support for Maven projects, but there are improvements for all users. Highlights of the upcoming 3.0 version:
- All new Vaadin projects are Maven-based by default
- Project templates are based on Maven archetypes
- Updated look and feel for dialogs, icons and wizards
- New “Notifications Center” that consolidates all Vaadin related notifications
- Easily use Vaadin pre-releases version in your project
- Shortcuts to compile Vaadin widgetset and theme
To help us iron out the last rough edges, we hope you could install the beta version today. To do that, choose “Help → Install New Software” and work with our beta update site:
