This project can be used as a starting point to create your own Vaadin Flow application with CDI. It contains all the necessary configuration and some placeholder files to get you started.
The best way to use it is via vaadin.com/start - you can get only the necessary parts and choose the package naming you want to use.
Import the project to the IDE of your choosing as a Maven project.
Run application using
mvn clean package tomee:run
Open http://localhost:8080/ in browser.
If you want to run your app locally in the production mode, run using
mvn clean package tomee:run -Pproduction
If you want to run your app on Docker, run using
sh run.sh
Open http://localhost:8080/my-starter-project in browser.
The application is deployed on the Apache TomEE server via the tomee-maven-plugin, which supports hot deployment of code changes (via the reloadOnUpdate setting).
This means that you can make changes to the code in your IDE while the server is running, recompile, and have the server automatically pick up the changes and redeploy them.
This setting is enabled by default in this project.
One known limitation with hot deployment is that after deleting a @Route-annotated view, the route is are still navigable after automatic redeployment.
In such case, the application must be restarted to remove the route from the registry permanently.
