Instructions on how to set up a working environments for developing the Vaadin
framework follow below.

Quick Setup
Eclipse Quick Setup
======
1. <code>git clone https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin.git</code>
1. Install IvyDE, including Ant Tasks, if needed (http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite)
1. Import the project into Eclipse
1. Run build/ide.xml in Eclipse

For more details, see below

Cloning the project repositories
======
The Vaadin repository can be cloned using
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin.git</code></pre>

or using your favorite Git tool.

1. Run
<code>git clone https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin.git</code>
command or clone the repository your favorite Git tool.
If using Windows, you might want to add these Git settings: `core.autocrlf=false` and `core.fileMode=false`.

Setting up Eclipse to Develop Vaadin 7
=========

Start Eclipse
-------------
Start Eclipse with the workspace you would like to use. It is usually a good idea to use the parent folder of the Git repository as the workspace folder.

Install IvyDE
---------
You'll need the Apache Ivy plug-in for Eclipse to build the project:

1. Go to *Help* -> *Install New Software...*
1. Enter `http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite` in the "Work with:" text field
1. Select and install all items

If you have installed IvyDE via the Eclipse Marketplace previously, **make sure** that you also have *Apache Ivy Ant Tasks* installed, which is not included in that IvyDE installation:

1. Go to *Help* -> *Install New Software...*
1. Click the hyperlink in the "What is already installed?" sentence near the bottom right-hand corner
1. Verify that the list includes *Apache Ivy Ant Tasks*
1. If it isn't included, follow the installation process above, but select only *Apache Ivy library* > *Apache Ivy Ant Tasks*


Import the Project into the Workspace
------------
1. Do *File* -> *Import* -> *General* -> *Existing Projects into Workspace*
![ImportProject](http://f.cl.ly/items/0G361519182v1z2T1o1O/Import.png "Import project")
1. Run <code>mvn install</code> in the project root.
Note that the first compilation takes a while to finish as maven downloads dependencies used in the projects.
1. Start Eclipse with the workspace you would like to use. It is usually a good idea to use the parent folder of the Git repository as the workspace folder.
1. Import the project into Eclipse as a maven project. Use *File* -> *Import* -> *Maven* -> *Existing Maven Projects*.
1. Select the *vaadin* folder (where you cloned the project)
1. Ensure the *vaadin* project is checked
1. Click “finish” to complete the import of Vaadin Framework
1. Click “Finish” to complete the import of Vaadin Framework

The project should compile without further configuration. If the project does not compile without errors, choose *Ivy* -> *Resolve* from the vaadin project popup menu to ensure all dependencies have been resolved.
Now the project should compile without further configuration.

Note that the first compilation takes a while to finish as Ivy downloads dependencies used in the projects.

Compiling the Default Widget Set and Themes
--------
Compile the default widget set by executing the default target in build/ide.xml in the vaadin project.
In Eclipse this is done by opening build/ide.xml, right clicking on it and choosing *Run As* -> *Ant Build*.
![CompileWidgetSet](http://cl.ly/image/1R43162b282e/build.png "Compiling the Widget Set")
* Compile the default widgetset by running <code>install</code> maven goal in `vaadin-client-compiled` module root.
In Eclipse this is done by right clicking on vaadin-client-compiled project it and choosing *Run As* -> *Maven Build...*.
* Compile the default themes by running <code>install</code> maven goal in `vaadin-themes` module root.
In Eclipse this is done by right clicking on vaadin-themes project it and choosing *Run As* -> *Maven Build...*.

Set up extra workspace preferences
--------
TODO check if it's relevant
=====
The following preferences need to be set to keep the project consistent. You need to do this especially to be able to contribute changes to the project.

1. Open *Window* -> *Preferences* (Windows) or *Eclipse* -> *Preferences* (Mac)

Running a UI test
------
TODO
=====
The *vaadin* project includes an embedded Jetty (*com.vaadin.launcher.DevelopmentServerLauncher*) which is used for running the UI tests.
In Eclipse you can launch it using the included launch configuration: Right click on *eclipse/Development Server (vaadin).launch" and select *Debug As* -> *Development Server (vaadin)*.

This launches a Jetty on port 8888 which allows you to run any UI class in the project by opening http://localhost:8888/run/&lt;UI class name&gt;?restartApplication in your browser, e.g. [http://localhost:8888/run/com.vaadin.tests.components.label.LabelModes?restartApplication](http://localhost:8888/run/com.vaadin.tests.components.label.LabelModes?restartApplication) (Use ?restartApplication to ensure the correct UI is shown).

Running JUnit tests
Building a package
=====
The unit tests for the projects can be run using
<pre><code>ant test</code></pre>
The distribution files can be built by running maven goal
<pre><code>maven clean install</code></pre>
in the project root directory.

Note that the included Vaadin TestBench (browser) tests require access to a TestBench cluster, currently only available internally at Vaadin Ltd.
To use a specific version number, modify <code>&lt;version&gt;</code> tag in root pom.xml file.
This goal runs all project tests TestBench tests, which require access to a a TestBench cluster, currently only available internally at Vaadin Ltd.

Building a package
Running TestBench tests
=====
The distribution files can be built in two steps.

1. Unpack required gwt jars into the project
<pre><code>ant -f gwt-files.xml unpack.gwt</code></pre>
2. Build the project by running
<pre><code>ant</code></pre>
in the project root directory (add -Dvaadin.version=1.2.3 to use a specific version number).
TODO
=====
The unit tests for the projects can be run using
<pre><code>ant test</code></pre>

Setting up other IDEs to Develop Vaadin 7
Setting up IntelliJ IDEA to Develop Vaadin 7
=========
1. Intall and run IDEA. Ultimate Edition is better but Community Edition should also work.
1. Ensure if Git and Maven plugins are installed, properly configured and enabled.
1. Formatting settings _TODO_
1. Clone the repository, using menu VCS -> Checkout from Version Control -> Git -> Git Repository URL -> https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin.git.
When the repository is cloned, do **NOT** open it as a project.
1. Open cloned repository as a maven object. Use File -> Open and choose root _pom.xml_ file
1. Have a coffee break while IDEA is loading dependencies and indexing the project
1. Use Maven tool window to compile modules and the whole project
1. Run UI tests
1. Open *File* -> *Project Structure* -> *vaadin-uitest*
1. Click *Dependencies* tab
1. Click green *+* -> *Library...*
1. From project libraries select *Maven: com.vaadin.external.gwt:gwt-** and click *Add selected*
1. Compile default themes and widgetset (see above)
1. Click *Run* -> *Edit Configurations...* -> Green *+* -> *Application*
1. Set *Main class* into `com.vaadin.launcher.DevelopmentServerLauncher`, *Working dir* into `$MODULE_DIR$`,
*Use classpath of module* into `vaadin-uitest` and click *Apply*. Now you have a run configuration for UI tests


1. Run SuperDev mode _TODO_

TODO remove following & ask Sauli to add a notification about outdated instructions

This Vaadin zip contains all the jars of the Vaadin Framework. Additionally all dependencies are provided in the lib folder.

To use in a web project:
1. Copy all vaadin-* files except vaadin-client and vaadin-client-compiler to WEB-INF/lib in your project
2. Copy lib/*.jar to WEB-INF/lib in your project
3. Copy vaadin-client and vaadin-client-compiler to a lib folder which is on your classpath but will not be deployed. These files are only needed when compiling a module (widget set) to Javascript.
1. Copy following files from the archive root into WEB-INF/lib in your project:
- vaadin-server-*.jar
- vaadin-shared-*.jar
- vaadin-themes-*.jar
- vaadin-push-*.jar (if you need push)

If you are using Eclipse and a standard WTP (Dynamic Web Project or Vaadin Project), step 3 can be:
Create a /lib folder, copy the files there and right click the lib folder and select "Build Path" -> "Add to Build Path".
Once this is done, the "Compile widgetset" button provided by the Vaadin Plug-in for Eclipse will work correctly.
2. Copy following files from the archive /lib into WEB-INF/lib in your project:
- vaadin-slf4j-jdk14-*.jar
- flute-*.jar
- guava-*.jar
- js-*.jar
- jsoup-*.jar
- sac-*.jar
- streamhtmlparser-jsilver-*.jar
- atmosphere-runtime-*.jar (if you need push)

3. Copy vaadin-client and vaadin-client-compiler to a lib folder which is on your classpath but will not be deployed.
These files are only needed when compiling a module (widget set) to Javascript.

4. Read https://vaadin.com/docs/-/part/framework/application/application-overview.html#application.overview to start your development
