Vaadin Directory serves as the store for the add-ons. You can distribute -add-ons both as JAR libraries and Zip packages. - -Creating a typical add-on package involves the following tasks: - -* Compile server-side classes -* Compile JavaDoc (optional) -* Build the JAR - -** Include Vaadin add-on manifest -** Include the compiled server-side classes -** Include the compiled JavaDoc (optional) -** Include sources of client-side classes for widget set compilation (optional) -** Include any JavaScript dependency libraries (optional) -** Exclude any test or demo code in the project - - -The exact contents depend on the add-on type. Component add-ons often include a -widget set, but not always, such as JavaScript components or pure server-side -components. You can also have data container and theme add-ons, as well as -various tools. - -It is common to distribute the JavaDoc in a separate JAR, but you can also -include it in the same JAR. - -[[gwt.addons.export]] -== Exporting Add-on in Eclipse - -If you use the Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse for your add-on project, you can simply -export the add-on from Eclipse. - -. Select the project and then "File > Export" from the menu - -. In the export wizard that opens, select "Vaadin > Vaadin Add-on Package", and -click [guibutton]#Next# - -. In the [guilabel]#Select the resources to export# panel, select the content that -should be included in the add-on package. In general, you should include sources -in [filename]#src# folder (at least for the client-side package), compiled -server-side classes, themes in [filename]#WebContent/VAADIN/themes#.

Vaadin -libraries and other dependencies are retrieved and included in the classpath -using Apache Ivy. - -In the following, we assume the same structure as in the Eclipse project -example. Let us put the build script in the [filename]#build# folder under the -project.

For earlier Ant versions, please see the Ivy documentation. - -[[gwt.addons.ant.configuration]] -=== Configuration and Initialization - -In the example script, we organize most settings in a [literal]#++configure++# -target and then initialize the build in [literal]#++init++# target. - -[subs="normal"] ----- -//Update these settings for your project structure - -<target name="configure"> - <!-- Where project source files are located --> - <property name="src-location" value="**src**" /> - - <!-- Name of the widget set. --> - <property name="widgetset" value="**com.example.myaddon.widgetset.MyAddonWidgetset**"/> - - <!-- Addon version --> - <property name="version" value="**0.1.0**"/> - - <!-- Compilation result directory --> - <property name="result-dir" value="build/result"/> - - <!-- The target name of the built add-on JAR --> - <property name="target-jar" - value="${result-dir}/**myaddon**-${version}.jar"/> -</target> - -//Initialize build - -<target name="init" depends="configure"> - <!-- Construct and check classpath --> - <path id="compile.classpath"> - <pathelement path="build/classes" /> - <pathelement path="${src-location}" /> - <fileset dir="${result-dir}/lib"> - <include name="*.jar"/> - </fileset> - </path> - - <mkdir dir="${result-dir}"/> -</target> - ----- -You will need to make some configuration also in the [literal]#++package-jar++# -target in addition to the [literal]#++configure++# target. - - -[[gwt.addons.ant.compiling]] -=== Compiling the Server-Side - -Compiling the add-on requires the Vaadin libraries and any dependencies.

You can do it as follows, using the configuration we defined -earlier. You may want to exclude the client-side classes and any test and demo -classes from the JavaDoc, as is done in this example, if they are in the same -source tree. - -[subs="normal"] ----- -<!-- Compile JavaDoc --> -<target name="compile-javadoc" depends="init"> - <delete dir="${result-dir}/javadoc"/> - <mkdir dir="${result-dir}/javadoc"/> - - <javadoc destdir="${result-dir}/javadoc"> - <sourcefiles> - <fileset dir="${src-location}" id="src"> - <include name="**/*.java"/> - - <!-- Excluded stuff from the package --> - <exclude name="**++*++++*++/client/++*++++*++/++*++**"/> - <exclude name="**++*++++*++/demo/++*++++*++/++*++**"/> - <exclude name="**++*++++*++/MyDemoUI.java**"/> - </fileset> - </sourcefiles> - <classpath> - <path refid="compile.classpath"/> - </classpath> - </javadoc> -</target> ----- - -[[gwt.addons.ant.package]] -=== Packaging the JAR - -An add-on JAR typically includes the following: - -* Vaadin add-on manifest -* The compiled server-side classes -* The compiled JavaDoc (optional) -* Sources of client-side classes (optional) -* Any JavaScript dependency libraries (optional) - -Let us begin crafting the target.
