Answering my own question: The "readme.txt" in the Vaadin source distribution's "WebContent/VAADIN" folder tells you how to build the widgets. Of course as Vaadin-dummy I have no clue what widgets to build, but the default set seems to work just fine:
% cd build % ant widgetset-default After that I had what I needed to copy in my Magnolia module's src/main/resources/mgnl-resources/[modulename] folder. Things are not working 100% (still getting a strange error message claiming that the widgets were built for a different version of Vaadin), but the integration works. For other dummies like me, I've compiled my experiences in a wiki page: http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DEV/Vaadin+for+Dummies Cheers, -will On 05.07.2012, at 11:14, Will Scheidegger wrote: > For some reasons my post was marked as junk.
