archetype-vaadin-addon
A project template for Vaadin add-ons that...
- makes it easy to develop the add-on (UI tests in same module as the actual add-on)
- makes OSGi compatible add-ons by default
- emphasis testing: supports multiple UI tests with a searchable listing, setup for automated browser level testing
- does NOT support GWT extensions, but only pure server side or JS extensions. For add-ons using GWT, try archetype-vaadin-gwt-addon
Using the archetype
Only snapshots are so far released, but you can use them with following CLI command:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=in.virit \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=archetype-vaadin-addon \
-DarchetypeRepository=https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/ \
-DarchetypeVersion=2.0-SNAPSHOT
Maven will then prompt for group and archetype id for your project. If you are unsure what to give, use org.vaadin.addons for groupId and something derived from your add-on name, like my-awesome-addon.
Then see the README.md from the generated project for more instructions.
The archetype is quite new, so there is sure some rough edges left. Don't hesitate to report issues!
