+library folder in the project. Some of the libraries are optional, as explained
+in

+of Vaadin Libraries">>.

+. Also copy the dependency JAR files at the [filename]#lib# folder to the

+
+
+The location of the [filename]#WEB-APP/lib# folder depends on the project
+organization, which depends on the development environment.
