i'm looking to use Vaadin on Netbeans 8.

I installed the Vaadin plug-in on Netbeans.

Followed the instructions on https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Getting+Started+on+NetBeans.

The jar i'm using is vaadin-all-7.3.8.

I assigned Tomcat to the project.

However - com.vaadin isn't recognized for all what it has in the environment-- com.vaadin.ui and com.vaadin.Application aren't seen. I'm getting checked errors to 

import com.vaadin.Application;

and 

import com.vaadin.ui.*;

, but not to 

import com.vaadin.*;

What more do i need for Vaadin on Netbeans??

TIA.

EDIT:

Pls note: Saw Using Vaadin on NetBeans WITHOUT Maven along with some other discussions.

Also note: We're looking to avoid Vaadin-on-Maven. have already had issues with that one as well.

  • For vaadin 6.x we did use it with normal Netbeans java web projects. Worked fine. When we did then switch to vaadin 7, we did try to stay way from maven and ivy, but finally we did not suceed and are now using maven for our vaadin 7.x projects... – André Schild Jan 09 '15 at 22:12
  • The Wiki entry you quoted is only for vaadin 6.x, won't help with vaadin 7 – André Schild Jan 09 '15 at 22:13
  • do you know of any help/resource to show these step by step? getting dizzy finding my way around in Vaadin "help" resources – user4402742 Jan 14 '15 at 15:27

Be sure to read the readme in the zip file that tells you which jar files you need to include in your project:

  1. Copy all vaadin-* files except vaadin-client and vaadin-client-compiler to WEB-INF/lib in your project
  2. Copy lib/*.jar to WEB-INF/lib in your project
  3. Copy vaadin-client and vaadin-client-compiler to a lib folder which is on your classpath but will not be deployed. These files are only needed when compiling a module (widget set) to Javascript.

What issues did you have with maven? Typically I would recommend using a dependency management tool to make upgrades easier in the future.
