General Upgrade Notes

When upgrading from an earlier version of the Vaadin library, you should always do the following.

Eclipse Users

Install the new Vaadin JAR to your project
Upgrade the Vaadin Integration Plugin for Eclipse to the latest version

If using the Vaadin Plugin in Eclipse, download and select the new version in project preferences.
For using pre-release versions of Vaadin and nightly builds, it is either recommended or often necessary to use the unstable "experimental" Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse. +If that is the case, add http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental as a Software Site in Eclipse and upgrade the Vaadin Plugin.

Install new GWT JARs if the GWT version has changed

The Eclipse plugin will automatically download the new GWT and update launch configurations and the project build path when you update the Vaadin version.

If you have custom widget sets, recompile them with the new Vaadin library using the included GWT compiler
If using the Eclipse IDE: -
1. Refresh the Eclipse project by selecting the project folder and pressing F5
2. Restart the application server
3. Set your project to use the new Vaadin version
4. If you have custom widget sets, recompile them by selecting the project or the widget set and clicking the Compile Vaadin widgets button in Eclipse toolbar
5. Stop the development server, clean up the working directories, and restart the server.
+ +
¹ The Vaadin section is enabled only if the Vaadin Facet is configured for the project
+ +
NetBeans and Build Script Users
+ +
If you build the Vaadin application or the widget sets using an Ant script, such as in NetBeans, follow the following instructions:
+ +
1. Copy the vaadin-@version@.jar library to the WEB-INF/lib directory in the project and remove the old version
2. Refresh the project (in NetBeans or Eclipse)
3. If using any add-ons containing custom widget sets:
-
Using the Vaadin project facet in the Eclipse IDE does the steps 1 and 2 automatically.
+
You can use the WebContent/docs/example-source/build-widgetset.xml Ant script in the Vaadin + installation package as a template for a script for compiling the widget sets.
+ +
Maven Users
+ +
- If the Vaadin version is defined as LATEST in the pom.xml, the new version is automatically used and you simply need to recompile the project.
- If the Vaadin version is defined explicitly in the pom.xml, edit the file to change the version.
+ +
Maven downloads the defined Vaadin version and required GWT libraries automatically.
+ +
Notice that there can sometimes be a delay between the official release + of Vaadin to when it is submitted to the central repository. Once in the central repository, the + replication to other repositories can take several hours.
