The Vaadin 7 Control Panel centralizes management of the shared Vaadin 7 environment.

The Vaadin 7 Control Panel features:

Overview page summarizes all details of the shared Vaadin environment including the version of Vaadin, the add ons included in the widgetset compile and the date/time when the widget set was compiled.

An "About Vaadin" page defines common Vaadin terminology to help those new to the Vaadin ecosystem.

Easy upgrade to a new version of Vaadin (including the 7.3 line), even when server is blocked from general internet access (via manual upload).

During the upgrade, all Vaadin portlets are updated (if setting is used) to the same version of Vaadin being deployed. This will allow for a Vaadin upgrade but not redeploy all Vaadin portlets to benefit from the upgrade.

Easy upload and integration of Vaadin Add-Ons (no more EXT plugin deployment or manual jar dropping).

Create and edit custom Vaadin themes in the control panel, including import and export capability. This allows for a theme to be created in one environment and migrated to other environments (such as code promotion from dev->test->qa->prod or deploying to all nodes in a cluster).

Settings to control how the control panel works, including settings to increase memory allocation for compiling widget sets and themes (necessary when there are a lot of add ons included in the widget set builds).

Detailed output for the upgrade process, the theme compilation process, and the widget set compilation process.

When deployed, if Vaadin 6 is present in Liferay it will be purged and replaced with Vaadin 7.2.7 from the control panel.

The Vaadin 7 Control Panel supports I18N, although currently the only supplied language bundle is English (please contact support@vaadinonliferay.com to submit a language bundle).

There is a service tier provided by vaadin7-control-panel-portlet-service-1.0.0.0.jar. This service tier allows Vaadin 7 portlets the ability to check the installed version of Vaadin 7, determine if the Valo theme is available, list all installed add ons and themes, etc.

Additionally Vaadin 7 plugins can take advantage of the service tier to support hot deploy of Vaadin add ons and themes. This will allow, for example, MarketPlace Vaadin 7 plugins that ship with necessary dependent add ons and/or themes, will allow a Vaadin 7 plugin deployment to the nodes of a cluster with all dependent add ons/themes without having to manually deploy via the control panel, and it will allow for Vaadin 7 plugin promotion (dev->test->qa->prod) to include dependent add ons/themes without requiring manual deployments before hand.

NOTE:

When deployed, the Vaadin 7 Control Panel will purge Vaadin 6 from Liferay if it is still there (because Vaadin 6 and Vaadin 7 cannot coexist in the shared environment), but sometimes this can cause problems for the application container. You should restart the Liferay environment after deploying the Vaadin 7 Control Panel.
