MIDEaaS (Mobile IDE as a Service) is an experimental web-based environment for creating Vaadin web apps.

It's still in a research state. Not to be used for anything real. See cored.cs.tut.fi for related information.

The current version requires Vaadin 7.1+ and Java 7.

Lots of features a still missing.

Prerequisites:

• Java 7
• Maven
• For all the Java Features to work:
  • Set JAVA_HOME point to JDK, not JRE. If you use Eclipse, configure the project to use JDK (instructions)
  • Include tools.jar in the classpath. Example (using Tomcat) add line CLASSPATH="/X/Y/Z/lib/tools.jar in the beginning of bin/catalina.sh .

When the prerequisites are set, do the following:

1. Edit config file at mideaas-app/src/main/resources/mideaas.properties to setup the project dirs etc. See the file for more instructions.

2. In the mideaas root folder run mvn install.

3. To run MIDEaaS, go to mideaas-app directory and type mvn jetty:run. Now it should be available http://localhost:8080/mideaas/.

4. (Optional) To use VisualDesigner, you must run the VisualDesigner (here) somewhere and configure its address in mideaas-app/src/main/resources/mideaas.properties.

1. In the mideaas-app folder run 'mvn war:war'
