Vaadin APP created using vaadin-archetype-application archetype. App is ready to be run and already contains Vaadin Spreadsheet dependency.
To compile the entire project, run "mvn install".
To run the application, run "mvn jetty:run" and open http://localhost:8080/ .
Debugging client side code
- run "mvn vaadin:run-codeserver" on a separate console while the application is running
- activate Super Dev Mode in the debug window of the application
To produce a deployable production mode WAR:
- change productionMode to true in the servlet class configuration (nested in the UI class)
- run "mvn clean package"
- test the war file with "mvn jetty:run-war"
When developing the theme, Vaadin can be configured to compile the SASS based theme at runtime in the server. This way you can just modify the scss files in your IDE and reload the browser to see changes.
To use the runtime compilation, open pom.xml and comment out the compile-theme goal from vaadin-maven-plugin configuration. To remove a possibly existing pre-compiled theme, run "mvn clean package" once.
When using the runtime compiler, running the application in the "run" mode (rather than in "debug" mode) can speed up consecutive theme compilations significantly.
It is highly recommended to disable runtime compilation for production WAR files.
If Vaadin pre-releases are not enabled by default, use the Maven parameter "-P vaadin-prerelease" or change the activation default value of the profile in pom.xml .
