Migrating from Vaadin 6 to 7

General

Hello,

I’m pretty fresh to vaadin and started coding with maven and intellij which works fine until I realized I use Vaadin 6.8.2
Maybe someone could give me some tipps on how to get a newer version of vaadin running.

I run this on a jetty server so starting with “package jetty:run” as maven commands packages me a war, explode it and runs jetty. Is there something to change?

package jetty:run Also here are my pom.xml

[code]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi.

I would suggest making a fresh start with a Vaadin 7.4.x project by running:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.example -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=7.4.6

and copying over your code from the current project.

But if you do feel that you want to convert the project you should have a look at
https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Migrating+from+Vaadin+6+to+Vaadin+7
 and refer to it while doing the conversion.
