RE: cannot open java files

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Hello,

Vaadin Designer 2 can open HTML files but only those that follow Vaadin Framework’s
declarative format
. Java files can’t be opened in Designer.

You can create a Designer compatible HTML file by creating a new “Vaadin 8 Design” file from Eclipse’s new File menu. Please follow the steps in the documentation:
https://vaadin.com/docs/v8/designer/designer-getting-started.html

Hope this helps!

We installed the vaadin designer 2 but we cannot open our java files where the UI is located.

error:
Vaadin Designer only supports HTML files.

If I would like to open html file then I got this error message:

org.eclipse.ui.internal.ErrorEditorPart cannot be cast to com.vaadin.designer2.eclipse.editors.VaadinEditor
