Hello all,
Where can I find documentation on vaadin-maven-plugin? I would like more info on available parameters () and available goals. Also, I believe this plugin is very close to, or event extends gwt-maven-plugin, so knowing what parameters and goals are specific to vaadin and those general to gwt would be good to know too.
Thanks,
ng
I don’t know how the plugin actually relates to
gwt-maven-plugin

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=vaadin

Excellent!

gives me all the goals and all the parameters for each goal!
Thanks!
This is insane. There should be a page documenting all goals and mojos of the vaadin-maven-plugin.
The plugin sources are here: https://github.com/vaadin/maven-plugin but it only links a gwt-maven-plugin and the link is broken. There is no documentation on how to compile a theme and how to compile a theme from src/main/resources for Vaadin 7.6.5. The documentation is lacking in this area.
Still found nothing on the internet…
FYI: for the newer vaadin versions the source for the plugins can be found here: [https://github.com/vaadin/flow/blob/master/flow-maven-plugin/src/main/java/com/vaadin/flow/plugin/maven/PrepareFrontendMojo.java]
