Vaadin Maven Netbeans Widgetsets

Flow

I have been struggling with this for days. I have read the posts…and the docs but it just doenst work period. the bits to the pom are:

 <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <!-- Version 2.1.0-1 works at least with Vaadin 6.5 -->
            <version>2.1.0-1</version>
            <configuration>
                <!-- if you don't specify any modules, the plugin will find them -->
                <modules>
                            <module>com.jeldwen.titanattributor.widgetset.TitanAttributorWidgetset</module>
                        </modules>
                <webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/VAADIN/widgetsets</webappDirectory>
                <extraJvmArgs>-Xmx512M -Xss1024k</extraJvmArgs>
                <runTarget>clean</runTarget>
                <hostedWebapp>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</hostedWebapp>
                <noServer>true</noServer>
                <port>8080</port>
                <soyc>false</soyc>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>resources</goal>
                        <goal>compile</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        <!-- Updates Vaadin 6.2+ widgetset definitions based on project dependencies -->
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <configuration>
                        <!-- if you don't specify any modules, the plugin will find them -->
                
                        <modules>
                            <module>com.jeldwen.titanattributor.widgetset.TitanAttributorWidgetset</module>
                        </modules>
             
                    </configuration>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>update-widgetset</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

And…

  <dependency>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin</artifactId>
            <version>${vaadin.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
      <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
      <version>2.4.0</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
<dependency>
      <groupId>org.vaadin.addons</groupId>
      <artifactId> PagedTable </artifactId>
      <version>0.6.3</version>
    </dependency>

running “vaadin:update-widgetset” i get:

[vaadin:update-widgetset]

GWT plugin is configured to detect modules, but none were found.
No widgetsets to update.
To create a widgetset, define a non-existing module in your pom.xml

please please i am begging some one to tell me the missing piece…thanks…oh and btw there is no gwt.xml…i am not sure if i am suppose to make that myself and if so what the schema is.

Okay i finally solved the issue and I hope this consolidates all the pieces of the answers out there into a useful summary. from the following links I derived the correct solution:

the trick comes down to, like all maven issues, of managing versions. To aid in this i create a propert section in the pom like so:

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <vaadin.version>6.6.2</vaadin.version>
        <gwt.version>2.4.0</gwt.version>
        <gwt.plugin.version>2.4.0</gwt.plugin.version>
        <vaadin.plugin.version>1.0.2</vaadin.plugin.version>
        <netbeans.hint.deploy.server>Tomcat</netbeans.hint.deploy.server>
    </properties>

As of the date of this post these are all up to date and work together. Thus the plugins and dependencies are :

 <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${gwt.plugin.version}</version>
...

 <plugin>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${vaadin.plugin.version}</version>

...

 <dependency>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin</artifactId>
            <version>${vaadin.version}</version>
        </dependency>


        <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
      <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
      <version>${gwt.version}</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

I hope this helps some one.
