Hi,
Could somebody point me the differences between

?

With setContent() you replace the ComponentContainer and with addComponent() you add a Component to the ComponentContainer. The default ComponentContainer is VerticalLayout. Thus setContent() is typically used, if you want to change layout behavior or replace the whole container.
