##Addressbook Tutoriall

This tutorial teaches you some of the basic concepts in Vaadin Framework. It is meant to be a fast read for learning how to get started - not an example on how application should be designed. Please note this example uses and requires Java 8 to work..

Running the example from the command line

$ mvn jetty:run

Open http://localhost:8080/

Importing in IntelliJ IDEA 14

These instructions were tested on IntelliJ IDEA 14 CE. You can get it from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

To get the project up and running in IDEA, do:

• File -> New -> Project from Version Control -> Git
• The URL to use is https://github.com/vaadin/addressbook.git
• If you get a message about "Non-managed pom.xml file found". Choose "Add as Maven Project"
• If you get a message about no JDK or SDK being selected. Choose "Configure" and select your installed JDK. You can also set the JDK using File -> Project Structure
• To start the project, find the "Maven Projects" tab on the right hand side of the screen and navigate to
  • Vaadin Web Application -> Plugins -> jetty -> jetty:run
  • Click the play button or right click and select Run (Select Debug instead to run in debug mode)

You should now have a Jetty server running on localhost:8080. Navigate to http://localhost:8080 to play with the application

Importing in NetBeans 8

These instructions were tested on NetBeans 8.0.2. You can get it from https://www.netbeans.org

To checkout and run the project in NetBeans, do:

• Team -> Git -> Clone
• Set repository URL to https://github.com/vaadin/addressbook.git
• Finish
• Right click the imported project (Vaadin Addressbook Application) and select Run
• Select GlassFish Server 4.1 -> Remember in Current IDE Session -> OK

You should now have a GlassFish server running on localhost:8080 and a browser tab should also be automatically opened with this location

Importing in Eclipse

These instructions were tested on Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Luna SR2. You can get it from http://eclipse.org/downloads/

To checkout and run the project in Eclipse, do:

• File -> Import...
• Check out Maven Projects from SCM
• Choose Git from SCM menu
  • If you do not see "Git" in the SCM menu, click "Find more SCM connectors in the m2e Marketplace" and install "m2e-egit". Restart Eclipse and start over.
• Set the repository URL to https://github.com/vaadin/addressbook.git
• Right click the imported "addressbook" and choose Run As -> Maven Build...
  • Set the goal to "jetty:run" and click "Run"

You should now have a Jetty server running on localhost:8080. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to play with the application

To use the built in server adapters of Eclipse, instead of doing "Run As -> Maven Build..." you can do

• Run As -> Run on Server
• Select the server you want to run on, e.g. Apache Tomcat 8 and click ok
• Do not use the suggested J2EE Preview server as it is outdated, deprecated and does not support Servlet 3, which is required for this applications
