Hi

I am working ina spring roo project and used vaadin as a plug in. We like to adopt a new version in our project. Please say which version of vaadin plugin for eclipse supports vaadin 7(beta).

The Vaadin plug-in for Eclipse is being updated for Vaadin 7 - the basic features should already be working in the development version of the plug-in from the update site http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental .

Updating the Vaadin plug-in for Spring Roo for Vaadin 7 is not yet in our roadmap - I don’t know when we’ll have time for it.
This is a big task as in practice it would make sense to do a lot of things very differently with Vaadin 7 - there are much simpler ways to achieve the same goals than with Vaadin 6.

Thank you henry

One more note: the latest plug-in also requires the IvyDE plug-in to be installed.
You can add the update site http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite/ for it as the update site for the Vaadin plug-in does not refer to it at the moment.

The following
invalid
 url is referenced throughout your site and the forums:

http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental

The 404 error should be replace with some sort of guidance or reason.

As it is, you leave your customers hanging.

Thanks

Well the url is not meant for the browser, but Eclipse. I can see that many might try to put it into the browser. A page in the same address giving instructions on how to put it into eclipse is a good idea. I’ll pass it forward to those who handle the website.

For the official update site
http://vaadin.com/eclipse
 there is a page with information about the plug-in and using that same page as an update site. Only for the experimental site, there is no such browsable content.

Then again, now the experimental site is being used more in the beta phase so maybe it would be a good idea - Jens, please report to the appropriate persons.

I should have realized that was an Eclipse update URL.

Still, others might overlook that fact as well.

No need to respond.

Thanks

Is it possible to use Maven plug in for eclipse instead of ivyDE plug in. If not, could you give the difference between both?

If your application is built using Maven, it usually makes sense to use Maven and the latest Vaadin Maven plug-in for widgetset compilation and other operations that you could otherwise do from the Vaadin Eclipse plugin. Likewise, projects can be created using a Vaadin archetype etc.

Some of the functionality of the Eclipse plug-in (e.g. the visual editor, wizards for creating a new theme or widget, …) is not present in the Maven plug-in.
