== Updating the Vaadin Libraries in Maven Projects

Updating the Vaadin plugin does not update Vaadin libraries. The libraries are
project specific, as a different version might be required for different
projects, so you have to update them separately for each project.

. Open the [filename]#pom.xml# in an editor in Eclipse.

. Edit the [propertyname]#vaadin.version# property to set the Vaadin version.

+
Updating the libraries can take several minutes. You can see the progress in the
Eclipse status bar. You can get more details about the progress by clicking the
indicator.

. If you have compiled the widget set for your project, recompile it by clicking
the [guibutton]#Compile Vaadin widgets# button in Eclipse toolbar.

. Stop the integrated Tomcat (or other server) in Eclipse, clear its caches by
right-clicking the server and selecting [guilabel]#Clean# as well as
[guilabel]#Clean Tomcat Work Directory#, and restart it.


If you experience problems after updating the libraries, you can try using
"Maven > Update Project".

settings. You need to give at least the __project name__ and the runtime; the
default values should be good for the other settings.
. In the [guilabel]#Select a Maven archetype# step, you need to select the project type.
To create a simple test project, select the [guilabel]#Single-module Application Project#.

+
image::img/myproject-settings.png[]

[guilabel]#Project name#:: Give the project a name. The name should be a valid identifier usable
cross-platform as a filename and inside a URL, so using only lower-case
alphanumerics, underscore, and minus sign is recommended.

[guilabel]#Use default location#:: Define the directory under which the project is created. The default is under
your workspace folder, and you should normally leave it as it is. You may need
to set the directory, for example, if you are creating an Eclipse project on top
of a version-controlled source tree.

[guilabel]#Target runtime#:: Define the application server to use for deploying the application. The server
that you have installed, for example Apache Tomcat, should be selected
automatically. If not, click [guibutton]#New# to configure a new server under
Eclipse.

[guilabel]#Configuration#:: Select the configuration to use; you should normally use the default
configuration for the application server. If you need to modify the project
facets, click [guibutton]#Modify#. The recommended Servlet 3.0 configuration
uses the @WebServlet deployment, while Servlet 2.4 uses the old
[filename]#web.xml# deployment.
image::img/myproject-archetype-selection.png[]

[guilabel]#Deployment configuration#:: This setting defines the environment to which the application will be deployed,
to generate the appropriate project directory layout and configuration files.
The choises are:

*** [guilabel]#Servlet# (default)
*** [guilabel]#Google App Engine Servlet#
*** [guilabel]#Generic Portlet (Portlet 2.0)#

+
The further steps in the New Project Wizard depend on the selected deployment
configuration; the steps listed in this section are for the default servlet
configuration.

<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-overview.asciidoc#portal.overview,"Portal

environments.
endif::web[]

[guilabel]#Vaadin version#:: Select the Vaadin version to use. The drop-down list shows, by default, the
latest available version of Vaadin. The selection includes nightly
[literal]#++SNAPSHOT++# builds, if you want to keep up with the absolutely
latest unstable versions.
. In the [guilabel]#Specify archetype parameters# step, you need to give at least the
[guilabel]#Group Id# and the [guilabel]#Artifact Id#; the default values should be good
for the other settings.

+
You can change the version later in the [filename]#ivy.xml#.

[guilabel]#Create TestBench test#:: When enabled, the application stub will include a test case for testing the UI
with Vaadin TestBench, as described in
<<dummy/../../../testbench/testbench-overview.asciidoc#testbench.overview,"Vaadin
TestBench">>. Vaadin TestBench API library will be included in
[filename]#ivy.xml# as a dependency. Vaadin version 7.3 or later is required to
create the stub.



+
You can click [guibutton]#Finish# here to use the defaults for the rest of the
settings, or click [guibutton]#Next#.

. The settings in the [guilabel]#Web Module# step define the basic web application
(WAR) deployment settings and the structure of the web application project. All
the settings are pre-filled, and you should normally accept them as they are.

+
image::img/myproject-web.png[]

[guilabel]#Context Root#:: The context root (of the application) identifies the application in the URL used
for accessing it. For example, if the project has a [literal]#++myproject++#
context and a single UI at the context root, the URL would be
http://example.com/myproject. The wizard will suggest the project name given in
the first step as the context name. You can change the context root later in the
Eclipse project properties.
image::img/myproject-settings.png[]

[guilabel]#Content Directory#:: The directory containing all the content to be included in the web application
(WAR) that is deployed to the web server. The directory is relative to the root
directory of the project.
[guilabel]#Group Id#:: Give the project a namespace that is typically used as a prefix
for your package names, for example, [packagename]#com.example#. The group ID should be a
valid java package name.

[guilabel]#Artifact Id#:: Give the project a name, for example, `myproject`. The artifact ID should
be a valid java identifier.

[guilabel]#Version#:: Give the project a Maven compatible version number, for example, `1.0-SNAPSHOT`.
The version number should typically start with two or more integers separated with dots, and
should not contain spaces.

+
You can just accept the defaults and click [guibutton]#Next#.
[guilabel]#Package#:: Give the base package name for the project, for example,
[packagename]#com.example.myproject#. By default, this is generated from the group ID and
the artifact ID.

. The [guilabel]#Vaadin project# step page has various Vaadin-specific application
settings. If you are trying out Vaadin for the first time, you should not need
to change anything. You can set most of the settings afterwards, except the
creation of the portlet configuration.
[guilabel]#Properties#:: Enter values for the archetype specific properties that control naming
of various elements in the created project, such as the UI class name.

+
image::img/myproject-vaadin.png[]

[guilabel]#Create project template#:: Make the wizard create an UI class stub.

[guilabel]#Application Name#:: A name for the application UI, shown in the title bar of the browser window.

[guilabel]#Base package name#:: The name of the Java package under which the UI class of the application is to
be placed.

[guilabel]#Application/UI class name#:: The name of the UI class for the application, in which the user interface is
developed.

[guilabel]#Portlet version#:: When a portlet version is selected (only Portlet 2.0 is supported), the wizard
will create the files needed for running the application in a portal. See
<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-overview.asciidoc#portal.overview,"Portal
Integration">> for more information on portlets.

In a Servlet 3.0 project, the deployment is configured with servlet class and a
[literal]#++@WebServlet++# annotation. The stub includes the servlet class as a
static inner class. You may want to refactor it to a separate normal class.

In a Servlet 2.3 project, you would have a [filename]#web.xml# deployment
descriptor.
