+ For server-side development, copy the vaadin-server, + vaadin-client-compiled, vaadin-shared, and + vaadin-themes-compiled from the main folder and the dependencies from the + lib folder to the WEB-INF/lib folder of your Vaadin project. The + vaadin-theme-compiler can be copied to a library folder that is not + deployed with the web application. (The vaadin-client-compiled is + necessary if you do not wish to compile the widget set by your own, which you need + to do if you use almost any add-on components.) +

+ +

+ For pure client-side development, you only need the vaadin-client and + vaadin-client-compiler JARs. You also need them if you compile the widget + set for any reason, such as using Vaadin add-ons, or create new server-side + components integrated with client-side widgets. +
