Communcation error- inval Json response from server
I'm new to Vaadin and I'm trying to make an application that can be deployed to the google app engine.
So far I did 2 things 1) I created a Vaadin application in Maven that worked locally with Jetty 2) I created an ivy project as described in this tutorial (https://vaadin.com/forum#!/thread/9064078) and could deploy the template to the app engine.
Now when I tried to import my source file of 1 in 2 I got the following error when trying my application (the GUI is showing but the functionality is gone) communication problem - invalid JSON response from server. I also have the following errors in my console.

layout.setMargin(true);
layout.addComponent(new InputForm(this));
//layout.addComponent(new Button("click me"));
setContent(layout);
}
@WebServlet(urlPatterns = "/*", name = "MyUIServlet", asyncSupported = true)
