Vaadin Framework

Vaadin allows you to build modern web apps efficiently in plain Java, without touching low level web technologies.

This repository serves as an archive of the source code and issue tracking for Vaadin 8 and Vaadin 7. Both use GWT as the base of client-side implementations. Vaadin 8 includes Vaadin 7 compatibility classes. You can find source code and issue tracking for newer, web component based Vaadin versions in vaadin/platform.

The code in this repository reflects the state of Vaadin 8.14.3 and Vaadin 7.7.17, the last releases made available under the Apache-2 license, and will be left as-is.
