How to get addon theme included in my application theme
I am using ResizableCssLayout Add-on. I want to use css files from this addon. This should be automatically done by addons.scss which is generated during theme compilation. Unfortunately, The generated addons.cscc doesn't have any entry to include scss files. Actually it generates the following file content:
/* This file is automatically managed and will be overwritten from time to time. */
/* Do not manually edit this file. */
/* Import and include this mixin into your project theme to include the addon themes */
@mixin addons {
}
--------------------------------------------------
I downloaded ResizableCssLayout Add-on demo. It works fine with theme without recompiling theme. Once I compile theme, original addons.scss is replaced with the above contents.
I am frustracted with Vaadin. I am evaluating Vaadin for my company. I may give it up and ask my company to switch to pure GWT.
Thanks,
I tried with a project created using vaadin-archetype-application and the addons.scss was properly generated in both Eclipse and command line using vaadin-maven-plugin. Can you post your pom.xml?
