Can't open Design file in vaadin project

Hi Vinay!

There are a few things you could try to narrow the problem down:

• Check your theme file for errors. One easy way to see if it has errors is to use the Maven plugin to compile it. mvn package or mvn vaadin:compile-theme should do the trick. 
• Try to create a new shiny Vaadin project with a maven archetype (http://vaadin.com/maven), create a new design in that project and see if the problem persists
• If after the steps above you're still experiencing the issue, could you describe your setup in a bit more detail (OS, Eclipse version etc.) and I'll try to see if I can replicate your problem.
• If you just want to try out the Designer and skip the theme problem, you should be able to continue by just switching the theme to valo from the theme dropdown.

Hi Risto,

As you suggest i try to create new project as Vaadin maven project but it will also show the error.
My eclipse version is: eclipse-jee-mars2-R 4.5.2
Vaadin Designer: 1.0.10
Vaadin Plugin for eclipse: 3.0.0

Error message:

Could not resolve archetype com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:7.7.0.2 from any of the configured repositories.

Hi,

Could you try creating the application on the command line with

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=7.7.0.2

(from http://vaadin.com/maven)

And then importing the maven project to Eclipse.

Can you try to update your Internet Explorer to the latest available version and make sure that you're using it by default? Also, do you have any security settings set for your IE or maybe it's running in compatibility mode?
