Using a Third-party Vaadin Component instructions

Support
#1

Platform version: 6.10.x

So I’m trying to integrate the OrgChart add-on here into my app. I see the docs here. I have added in the web-toolkit module as instructed but it then says:

Then click the New UI component link. The UI component generation page will open. Select the Vaadin add-on value in the Component type section.

But I do not understand how the New UI component link translates to the new IntelliJ studio. In the previous studio there was an obvious link to add in a new UI component but I cannot find its counterpart in this new one.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Unfortunately the New UI Component feature has not been implemented in the new Studio (yet).

Since you are using CUBA 6.10 - you can use old Studio (6.10.3) just to create this component and then continue to work in the IntelliJ-based Studio.

Old Studio versions are available for download here: Previous CUBA Studio Releases – CUBA Platform

So using studio 6.10.3, I was able to add in the OrgChart add-on. And I’m able to reference the add-on from a screen controller. So that’s good. But now when I try to start the server, I get this error:

App component descriptor was not found in ‘com/flowingcode/vaadin/addons/app-component.xml’

I’ve done some reading here but I’m not understanding the need for the app-component file in this context.

Help?
