Invient Charts - Vaadin 7
Hi,
I really like the Invient Charts add-on, but it doesn't support Vaadin 7 (yet).
Can anyone tell me if there are plans to port it to Vaadin 7, and perhaps an ETA?
Or perhaps some steps to perform to get the Vaadin 6 version running in Vaadin 7 alpha 3?
For a new project that I'm starting, I'd like to already start using Vaadin 7 aplha 3 so I don't have to migrate too much when the final version is released, but I need those nice looking charts.
Thanks
I don't know anything about what plans the authors of Invient Charts have. What I do know is that the add-on is open source and that the quick and drity widget migration instructions in our Migration guide are likely to work with the add-on.
I start using vaadin6 just a few months ago, and I really need the invient charts to change to vaadin 7. So I decided to migrate the invient charts to vaadin 7 but I got stucked with this error during the compilation of the widgetsets:
<<< vaadin-maven-plugin:7.0.1:compile (default) @ tascaninvientcharts <<<

Any suggestions are welcome :)
Thanks in advance
Have you tried "vaadin charts" add-on , it uses Highcharts and as I understand it, the vaadin chartls license also includes the $300+ license for Highcharts that you should still pay if you use Highcharts via Invient Charts.
It should be a simple port from Invient Charts to Vaadin charts.
I will give it a try ;)
Thx for the suggestion.
