User should be notified if they are missing the vaadin-board-precompiled dependency #98

Currently it's possible to compile and run an application with having only the vaadin-board maven dependency. If you forget to add the precompiled module, you get only weird client-side exceptions and strange behavior in the app, but no clear message/warning why this might be happening. Some helpful guiding message at least in runtime would be appreciated.

Great idea. Any thoughts on how this could be implemented?

The message itself could be a short sentence with a link to the instructions, instead of a full description in the error message. The link could for example point to a wiki entry in this GitHub repository.

I think some client-side check for the Board or BoardRow definition should work. I'd rather link to documentation, instead of adding docs to github wiki, just to keep a single source of truth.

Yeah. Sounds reasonable. A FAQ kind of article with numbered headers?

What if we make board-precompiled a dependency instead? Most people will want it for fw8
