<dependency>
<groupId>org.linkki-framework</groupId>
<artifactId>linkki-application-framework-vaadin8</artifactId>

</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>

<version>${vaadin.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-compatibility-server</artifactId>

Maven Archetypes
linkki can be used for a plain Vaadin web application, with Spring Boot or with CDI. For each of those options, there is a matching Maven archetype that creates a new project with all necessary dependencies and some sample code to get started. They can be created from a command line:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.linkki-framework.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=linkki-archetype-plain-application-vaadin8 -DarchetypeVersion=1.3.0
The resulting application can be deployed to your application server of choice or simply started with mvn clean package org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-maven-plugin:run
, where it can be viewed at http://localhost:8080/main
.
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.linkki-framework.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=linkki-archetype-cdi-application-vaadin8 -DarchetypeVersion=1.3.0
The resulting application can be deployed to your Java Enterprise Edition 7+ server of choice or simply started with mvn clean package org.apache.tomee.maven:tomee-maven-plugin:run
, where it can be viewed at http://localhost:8080/<yourArtifactId>
.
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.linkki-framework.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=linkki-archetype-spring-application-vaadin8 -DarchetypeVersion=1.3.0
The resulting application can be started with java -jar target/*.war
and be viewed at http://localhost:8080/
.
