I am new to vaadin and not sure where to place this. but how and where do i get the netbeans support ?
I would like to know if is the a drag and drop UI design for netbeans.

Kagiso.

Hello Kagiso,

the support for netbeans is very minimal,
you best use netbeans together with maven or the ant scripts provided.

For UI designer and client side component development there is no real way arround eclipse… 8o

Hi Kagiso

Been using Vaadin in Netbeans for years without a visual editor.

The best way to develop with Maven ,Netbeans and Vaadin is JRebel.
i.e. Make a change , save ,reload page.

Are you from South Africa btw ? (Just guessing from the name)

We have a Johannesburg Java user group if you want to meet up.

Looks like i have to use eclipse since netbeans is not supported at this moment.

Thanks for your comment.

Hi Richard

Alright thanx for sharing but JRebel seems not to be open source nor free.
And yes i’m in ZA > Johannesburg (Eastrand)

Would love join the java group my email is (kagisokgs@gmail.com). please respond
with an email contaning the deatails.

Important update to all NetBeans and Vaadin users: We just released new official plugin adding a lot of new features like Directory integration and code completion for Vaadin widgets.

The plugin is available to NetBeans 7.3, 7.4 and 8 beta from:
plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/50531/vaadin-plug-in-for-netbeans

Hi Richard,

You say you use Vaadin + Maven + Netbeans + JREBEL!

I try to do the same. How can you do that?

Regards.
