I've just deployed Eclipse (Luna) with the Liferay IDE 2.2.0 release. The aim is to start looking at writing portlets.
So the first thing I have done is run the portlet wizard to create a Vaadin based portlet example. The results are not that promising
1) The example class created from the wizard inputs is for Vaadin 6.x while the IDE creates an environment for Vaadin 7.2.0.
There also sees to no reason for this class to be created as the MyPortletUI seems to be the real example.
2) The boilerplate MyPortletUI class is written for Vaadin 7.X, but throws up a lot of import errors on the following lines
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.log.Log;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.log.LogFactoryUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;
3) The boilerplate MyPortletUI class also uses logging, without the project adding any form of logging to the pom.
So I can easily deal with 1 and 3 and I'm sure some searching around will fix 2, but as a getting started demo its rather poor and I think worked in a past version of the IDE.
