Time for action – deploying and running
Steps for deploying and running Vaadin applications with Maven are as follows:
Move to the directory that Maven created for your project. If you have specified
welcomeas artifactId, then move to thewelcomedirectory.Before actually deploying the application we must compile it and package it. To do that, run the command:
mvn packageThis will take some time, so be patient.
Now we are ready. Run the command:
mvn jetty:runIf you haven't run this before, you will see a very verbose Maven downloading stuff.
Tip
Just in case if you want to break the old tradition:
mvn tomcat:runGo to
http://localhost:8080/welcomeand play with the just created Vaadin application.
What just happened?
We have successfully created, compiled, packaged, deployed, and run a Vaadin application using Maven.
