I have written a little client side in my vaadin 7 beta9 project. If I do a "mvn install’ the whole thing gets build fine and my client side module runs just fine.
If I make a change to the client side java the client side is not getting compiled automatically - I have to do a “mvn install” and refresh the eclipse project before my change is included.
If that the expected behaviour? The “mvn install” is so slow to run that this makes development dead slow.
Hi,
Indeed for client side changes a slow and tedious process of GWT compilation must be conducted. However, for developer purposes you could use either of two development modes.
The first one (requires Google development plugin to be installed in the browser) can be set up as follows:
Start your server.
Create the debug configuration in your IDE that would run
mvn vaadin:debug - will start GWT debugger at port 8000.
Create remote debug configuration that will connect to port 8000. You will get the DevMode console.
The second one is call SuperDevMode. You can learn how to use it
