+ <h3>Google Web Toolkit (GWT)</h3>
<p>
- Vaadin uses GWT @gwt-version@ for widget set compilation. GWT can be
- downloaded from <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/">http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/</a>.
- GWT can also be automatically downloaded by the Vaadin Plug-in for
- Eclipse. Please note that GWT @gwt-version@ requires the <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar</i>
- and <i>validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar</i> files in addition to <i>gwt-dev.jar</i>
- and <i>gwt-user.jar</i> for widget set compilation.

+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Bean Validation</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ If you want to use the bean validation feature in Vaadin 7, you need a Bean

- <!-- ================================================================ -->
<h2 id="upgrading">Upgrading to Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
+ <h3>Upgrading the Eclipse Plugin</h3>
+
<p>
- When upgrading from an earlier Vaadin version, you must:
+ This release requires that you use the <i>experimental</i> Vaadin Plugin for
+ Eclipse. Its update site is
+ <tt>http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental</tt>. Please see the <a
+ href="http://vaadin.com/eclipse">installation instructions</a> for more details.
</p>
+ <h3>General Upgrading Instructions</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ When upgrading from an earlier Vaadin version, you must:
+ </p>
+
<ul>
<li>Recompile your classes using the new Vaadin JAR. Binary
compatibility is only guaranteed for maintenance releases of
Vaadin.</li>
+
<li>Recompile any add-ons you have created using the new Vaadin
JAR.</li>
- <li>Recompile your widget set using the new Vaadin JAR and the
- newly compiled add-ons.</li>
- <li>If you have extracted a theme from the Vaadin JAR, you need
- to update it with the theme provided in the new Vaadin JAR.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Remember also to refresh the project in your IDE to ensure that the new version
- of everything is in use.</p>
+ <li>Recompile your widget set using the new Vaadin JAR and the newly compiled
+ add-ons.</li>
- <p>Using the "?debug" URL parameter you can verify that the
- version of the servlet (JAR), the theme and the widgetset all match.</p>
+ <li>If you have extracted a theme from the Vaadin JAR, you need to update it with
+ the theme provided in the new Vaadin JAR.</li>
+ </ul>
<p>
- <b>Eclipse</b> users should always check if there is a new version of the Eclipse
- Plug-in available. The Eclipse Plug-in can be used to update the Vaadin version in
- the project (Project properties &raquo; Vaadin).
+ Remember also to refresh the project in your IDE to ensure that the new version of
+ everything is in use.
</p>
<p>
- <b>Maven</b> users should update the Vaadin dependency version in the
- <tt>pom.xml</tt> unless it is defined as <tt>LATEST</tt> . You must also ensure
- that the GWT dependency uses the correct version and recompile your project and
- your widget set.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>Liferay and other portal</b> users must install the new
- vaadin-@version@.jar as
- <tt>ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/vaadin.jar</tt> in the portal. Additionally the
- contents of the <tt>VAADIN</tt> folder from the JAR must be extracted
- to the <tt>ROOT/html/VAADIN</tt> directory in the Liferay
- installation. If your portal uses custom widgets, install the latest
- version of <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/vaadin-control-panel-for-liferay">Vaadin
- Control Panel for Liferay</a> for easy widget set compilation.
+ Using the "?debug" URL parameter you can verify that the version of the servlet
+ (JAR), the theme and the widgetset all match.
</p>
- <h3>Upgrading from Vaadin 6.5 or earlier</h3>
-
<p>
- If you are upgrading from 6.5.x or earlier, notice that Vaadin
- @version@ uses GWT @gwt-version@. Upgrade your dependencies as
- necessary. See <a href="#dependencies">the dependencies</a> section
- for more information.
+ <b>Eclipse</b> users should always check if there is a new version of
+ the Eclipse Plug-in available. The Eclipse Plug-in can be used to
+ update the Vaadin version in the project (Project properties &raquo;
+ Vaadin).
</p>
- <h3 id="widgetupgrade">Upgrading from Vaadin 6.1 or earlier</h3>
-
<p>
- The way widget sets are created was completely changed in Vaadin 6.2. Existing
- projects, where custom widgets (a custom widget set) are used, must be migrated
- when upgrading to Vaadin 6.2 or later. Projects where the default widget set is
- used do not need migration. See <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/download/release/6.2/6.2.0/release-notes.html">Vaadin
- 6.2.0 release notes</a> for more details.
+ <b>Maven</b> users should update the Vaadin dependency version in the
+ <tt>pom.xml</tt> unless it is defined as <tt>LATEST</tt> . You must also ensure
+ that the GWT dependency uses the correct version and recompile your project and
+ your widget set.
