Download RapidClipse 12

This version is also the last Vaadin version to run with a Java runtime lower than JDK 17. In addition, Vaadin 23 naturally comes with a host of great features and stability.

RapidClipse version 12 – new features at a glance:

• Upgrade the IDE to support Vaadin 23 framework projects. Vaadin 23 comes with a lot of improvements and hotfixes. Most of them are on the framework side, but there are also new UI components like the DateTimeChooser. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide this component within our UI builder due to technical limitations. But you can always use it on the code side. Please refer to the Vaadin documentation for more details.

• Added ability to build a project in production mode within the Quick Launch view of RapidClipse.

• Project templates are updated to the latest version. Due to the fact that the project structure has changed slightly, the templates need to be updated.

• We have improved the use of newer Vaadin 23 components in our FormWizard. New components like IntegerField, NumberField or BigDecimalField are now available. The same applies to the list fields MultiSelectList and ComboBox. Especially with these list components it depends a lot on your object model if they work properly or not.

• We have implemented another automated migration from RC 11 to RC 12.

  • We mainly take care of project structure, framework versions, necessary pom.xml changes and many other internal changes.

  • We are not changing any of your own application code. This means that you may get compiler errors if there was outdated Vaadin framework code in 11 and this is removed in RC 12 / Vaadin 23. In this case, please refer to the migration guide. Migration V11 → V12
