Where can i find the compile vaadin widgetset in eclipse

I'm facing this issue where i'm not able to find the Compile Vaadin widgets button in the main toolbar of Eclipse. I have installed vaadin plug-in and my eclipse is of below version Version:

2020-06 (4.16.0)

Build id: 20200615-1200

Can someone help to resolve this?

Solution

  • The compile widgetset -button was used with the old Ivy projects, which haven't been the recommended way to use Vaadin for quite some time now, so without knowing which version you are using I'm assuming you've simply run across some very old instructions and the button isn't actually needed.

    With Maven projects you can simply right click the project -> Run as -> Maven install or Run as -> Maven build... -> write vaadin:compile to Goals: field -> click Run (or something similar, I don't have that particular Eclipse version installed).
