How to get available Vaadin Charts for developing

Question

I am trying to develop with Vaadin Charts, but I am not I am not able to install it.

The documentation says: "Once you have installed the library in your project, you need to compile the widget set". I installed the library without problems using Maven, but after that I don't know what to do. If I try to execute some code I receive an error like that:

Widgetset does not contain implementation

I have been reading the documentation but I'm a little lost. I read about creating a Vaadin widget Eclipse project but then I don't know how to connect with a simple Vaadin Project...

Any help will be appreciated!

Answer 1

I have found a good Vaadin Tutorial that speaks about widgetset and some addons:

If the add-on contains a custom client-side widget, as is the case for most UI component add-ons, it is required to create and compile the widgetset before running the application. When using the 'vaadin-archetype-clean' archetype, you first need to uncomment the relevant sections in your 'pom.xml' (gwt-maven-plugin and vaadin-maven-plugin configuration sections as well as the dependency on GWT and the snapshot plugin repositories). Then see the Directory Help page for detailed instructions.

To automatically find added widgets at a later time, run the goal 'vaadin:update-widgetset' and to recompile the widgetset after updating client-side widgets or Vaadin, execute the goal 'gwt:compile'.

To sum up, basically you must add to your build goals the nexts one:

vaadin:update-widgetset

gwt:compile

And automatically the corresponding <inherit> tags will be added to your *gwt.xml file

It's looks like you didn't add your *.gwt.xml to web.xml
