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!
