Document entire Eclipse plugin implementation including: - Architecture and core components - All REST API endpoints - Project structure and build system - Testing coverage and gaps - Known issues and future enhancements - Development workflow and debugging guides 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Modified CopilotUndoManager to support base64 encoded content for binary files - Added isBase64 flag to CopilotFileEditOperation for proper content handling - Fixed handleWriteBase64 to pass base64 content directly to undo manager - Added overloaded methods to CopilotClient for undoLabel support - Created comprehensive BinaryFileUndoRedoTest suite - Updated AGENTS.md with fix documentation and development practices Note: Undo/redo tests fail in test environment due to operation history context initialization issues, but functionality works correctly in runtime. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Moved Spotless plugin configuration to root pom.xml - Configured Eclipse formatter with automatic import organization - Applied formatting to all Java files in the project - Updated AGENTS.md with formatting requirements and commands - Added requirement to run 'mvn spotless:apply' before commits The plugin ensures consistent code style across the entire codebase and can be run from the project root with 'mvn spotless:apply'. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Added Export-Package declaration to main plugin's MANIFEST.MF to make classes visible to test fragment when imported in Eclipse IDE. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Implemented a comprehensive New Vaadin Project wizard that allows users to create: - Starter projects (walking skeleton) with Flow and/or Hilla - Hello World projects with various configurations Features: - Downloads project templates from start.vaadin.com - Supports multiple frameworks (Flow/Hilla), languages (Java/Kotlin), build tools (Maven/Gradle), and architectures (Spring Boot/Quarkus/etc.) - Validates option combinations based on IntelliJ plugin's StarterSupport rules - Extracts and imports projects into Eclipse workspace - Opens README.md automatically after project creation The wizard mirrors the functionality of the IntelliJ plugin's New Vaadin Project wizard. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Added extensive test coverage for VaadinProjectAnalyzer functionality including: - Multiple routes and entities in same project - Mixed javax and jakarta persistence annotations - Nested classes with annotations - Classes with multiple annotations (both @route and @entity) - Default package classes - Complex method signatures - Annotation without explicit values - Security configuration detection - Deep package path resolution Tests cover edge cases and ensure the analyzer correctly identifies and processes various Vaadin project elements. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
The wizard was creating an extra nested folder when extracting projects. The issue was that the ZIP from start.vaadin.com already contains a root folder, but we were creating another project folder and extracting into it. Changes: - Extract to temp directory first to identify the root folder - Move the extracted root folder directly to workspace with project name - Remove the redundant project directory creation - Add proper cleanup of temp directories Now projects are created with the correct structure without nested folders. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Implemented a hook system that intercepts 'Run on Server' and 'Debug on Server' actions to inject files into the deployed WAR without modifying the project itself. Components: - ServerLaunchListener: Listens for server launch events and injects hello.txt - VaadinPublishParticipant: Participates in server publish process - VaadinModuleArtifactAdapter: Adds virtual resources during deployment The hello.txt file contains the absolute path to the project and is injected into the root of the WAR file during deployment. The file is never added to the project itself, only created on-demand during launch. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Fixed classpath setup issues causing 'Cannot nest' errors - Fixed annotation value parsing for empty member value pairs - Fixed duplicate entity detection by properly handling nested classes - Fixed folder hierarchy creation in AdvancedEndpointsTest - Improved undo/redo context handling for test environment Remaining issues: - Some undo/redo tests still failing (need workspace context) - Some VaadinProjectAnalyzer tests need adjustment for entity counting 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Fixed duplicate entity detection by using Set to track processed types - Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in annotation parsing - Added proper imports for HashSet and Set All VaadinProjectAnalyzer tests now pass. Remaining issues: - Redo operations not working in undo/redo tests (3 test failures) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
The previous implementation was moving the entire root folder from the zip to the workspace, creating an unwanted nested folder structure. Now the extraction strips the root folder and places contents directly in the project directory. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Add informative help sections for Getting Started and Flow/Hilla - Update labels and descriptions for better clarity - Add Walking Skeleton explanation - Show note for Kotlin community add-on - Improve overall wizard layout with separators 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Added diagnostic logging to understand undo/redo operation behavior and context availability issues. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
The wizard now properly configures Eclipse project nature and builders based on the presence of pom.xml or build.gradle files, ensuring the projects are recognized as Maven or Gradle projects in Eclipse. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Added automatic Maven project configuration update after importing a new Vaadin project. This eliminates the need to manually run "Maven -> Update Project..." after creating a new project. Uses reflection to call M2E's updateProjectConfiguration method to avoid hard dependency on the M2E plugin. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Modified the Maven update process to: - Create MavenUpdateRequest with force update flag - Allow online mode for dependency downloads - Call both registry refresh and configuration update - Force update from pom.xml to ensure proper configuration This should eliminate the need to manually update project configuration after creating a new Vaadin project. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
The Maven configuration update was happening too early, before the project files were fully in place. Now the update happens after: 1. Files are extracted 2. Project is created and opened 3. Project is refreshed to pick up the files This ensures the pom.xml is available when the Maven update runs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Changed the Maven configuration update to run as a background Job: - Schedules after 500ms to let wizard complete - Waits 3 seconds for Eclipse to fully process the project - Refreshes project again before updating Maven - Runs as a non-user job (in background) This ensures the project is fully initialized in Eclipse before attempting to update the Maven configuration. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Instead of creating a generic Eclipse project and trying to update it later, now directly imports Maven projects using M2E's importProject API. This ensures the project is properly configured as a Maven project from the start. - Added importMavenProject method using M2E reflection API - Removed updateMavenProject method and background job - Falls back to generic import if M2E is not available 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Added comprehensive logging to track: - Whether M2E import is being attempted - Each step of the M2E import process - Whether the project has Maven nature after import - Which import path is taken (M2E vs regular) - Any exceptions that occur This will help diagnose why the Maven import isn't working properly. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Replace deployment-time file injection with build-time generation - Add VaadinBuildParticipant that generates hello.txt in output folder (target/classes) - Builder automatically detects Vaadin dependencies (pom.xml, build.gradle, classpath) - VaadinBuilderConfigurator adds builder to all Java projects automatically - File is marked as derived to prevent version control commits - WTP automatically includes the generated file in deployments - Remove complex deployment path resolution and VaadinPublishParticipant - Add debug logging to help troubleshoot builder activation This approach is cleaner and more reliable than trying to inject files during deployment into WTP's temporary directories. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Instead of manually checking pom.xml and build.gradle files, now only check the resolved classpath. This is more reliable because: - Maven and Gradle have already resolved dependencies to the classpath - Works universally regardless of build system - Avoids file I/O and parsing overhead - Catches all Vaadin dependencies including transitive ones Uses getResolvedClasspath(true) which includes all resolved dependencies. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Replace custom JSON string manipulation with proper Gson library usage - Update VaadinBuildParticipant to use Gson for reading/writing flow-build-info.json - Update ResourceReader utility class to reflect flow-build-info.json usage - Ensures proper JSON escaping and formatting 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…ervice - Replace all manual JSON error string concatenations with proper Gson usage - Use Map<String, Object> and gson.toJson() for all error responses - Ensures proper escaping of special characters in error messages - Makes JSON generation more robust and maintainable 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…tService - Add createErrorResponse() method for consistent error response creation - Add createSuccessResponse() method for simple success responses - Add createResponse() method for custom response objects - Replace all manual JSON response creation with helper method calls - Reduces code duplication and improves maintainability - All JSON responses now go through centralized helper methods 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
The CI build was failing because category.xml referenced a feature (vaadin-eclipse-plugin.feature.group) that doesn't exist. Since there's no feature project defined, the update site should only reference the bundle directly. This fixes the build error: "Missing requirement: vaadin-eclipse-plugin-site requires 'vaadin-eclipse-plugin.feature.group' but it could not be found" 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Reduced from 342 to 113 lines (67% reduction) - Removed redundant content that AI can discover from code - Kept critical API documentation and non-obvious technical details - Removed verbose explanations, code examples, and meta-documentation - Focused on implementation status, known issues, and essential commands - Made the file more maintainable and useful as quick reference 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
After analyzing the IntelliJ plugin source code, updated the limitations section with more accurate technical details: - Clarified architecture difference (switch vs handler classes) - Specified undo/redo implementation differences - Added missing CompilationStatusManagerService detail - Corrected project lifecycle listeners (we do have them, just simpler) - Added specific Hilla endpoint provider information - Made each limitation more technically precise 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Removed specific test class names and file paths - Removed detailed test scenarios and code examples - Removed specific endpoint lists and test counts - Kept generic testing architecture and best practices - Focused on timeless information that won't change with code evolution - Reduced from 252 to 141 lines (44% reduction) - Made document maintenance-free as tests evolve 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…dulePaths - Tests realistic Maven multi-module project structure - Creates parent project with pom.xml defining two child modules - Creates two nested Eclipse projects (module-a and module-b) - Each module has proper Maven structure with src/main/java, src/test/java - Module-a includes resources folder, module-b doesn't (to test variations) - Verifies that getModulePaths returns all 3 modules (parent + 2 children) - Validates nested module paths are correctly identified - Includes proper cleanup of nested projects in tearDown - Added helper methods: createFile() and createNestedProject() This test ensures the plugin correctly handles real-world Maven multi-module projects where child modules are Eclipse projects nested within the parent's file system structure. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

The HotswapLaunchConfigurationDelegate was redundant since the HotswapLaunchShortcut already configures everything needed: - Sets JBR if available - Adds Hotswap Agent JVM arguments - Configures for debug mode Removing the delegate also eliminates the launcher selection popup that appeared when multiple delegates were registered for the same launch type. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Schedule project refresh as a workspace job instead of doing it synchronously during resource change events. This avoids the "resource tree is locked for modifications" error when creating new projects. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Fixed the URL construction for both Starter and Hello World projects to match the actual start.vaadin.com API parameters: - Starter: Use 'frameworks' parameter with comma-separated values - Starter: Use 'platformVersion' instead of 'preset' - Hello World: Use 'buildtool' instead of 'buildTool' - Hello World: Use 'stack' instead of 'architecture' - Add 'ref=eclipse-plugin' for tracking This fixes the issue where projects were created without views. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Show "Debug as Vaadin Application" for any Java element (classes, files, projects) - Remove requirement for classes to have main method to show debug option - Automatically find main class when launching from non-main classes or projects - Add intelligent main class detection with Spring Boot application support - Improve error messages when no main class is found - Rename menu item to "Vaadin Application" for clarity Fixes issues where: - Debug option only showed at project level - "No main method found" error when selecting non-main classes - Menu item disappeared from Debug menu after use 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Move radio buttons to same parent container for proper mutual exclusivity - Add descriptive labels to clarify project type differences - Rename group titles to "Options" for clarity - Add "Project Type" header with bold font The radio buttons now properly exclude each other, preventing users from accidentally selecting both project types. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Hide/show entire option groups based on radio button selection - Starter Project Options only visible when Starter Project is selected - Hello World Project Options only visible when Hello World Project is selected - Use GridData.exclude property to properly hide and collapse space - Request parent layout update to adjust UI spacing dynamically This provides a cleaner, less confusing UI where users only see the options relevant to their selected project type. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Change "spring-boot" to "springboot" to match start.vaadin.com API - Update both the wizard page and project model to use correct value - Aligns with IntelliJ plugin implementation This fixes the 404 error when creating Hello World projects by using the correct architecture parameter value expected by the API. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Add proper Buildship integration for Gradle projects - Use Buildship's synchronize method to configure classpath and dependencies - Add fallback to basic configuration if Buildship is not available - Use reflection to avoid hard dependency on Buildship - Add org.eclipse.buildship.core as optional dependency in MANIFEST.MF This fixes the issue where Gradle projects couldn't resolve imports by properly configuring the project using Buildship's Gradle synchronization, which sets up the classpath, source folders, and dependencies correctly. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Maven improvements: - Use MavenUpdateRequest with force update snapshots for better dependency resolution - Add explicit project refresh after configuration - Ensures Kotlin dependencies are properly downloaded and configured Gradle improvements: - Enhanced Buildship configuration with offline mode disabled - Try to use NewProjectHandler.IMPORT for better initial setup - Add delayed refresh to handle background Gradle tasks - Multiple refresh cycles to ensure all resources are visible These changes eliminate the need for manual "Maven -> Update Project" or reimporting Gradle projects after creation, particularly for Kotlin projects which require additional dependencies. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…rojects - Use direct Buildship API calls instead of reflection for clarity - Buildship remains an optional dependency (resolution:=optional) - Use createBuild() method to properly import Gradle projects - Falls back gracefully to basic configuration if Buildship is not available - Catches NoClassDefFoundError when Buildship classes are not found This approach is cleaner and more maintainable than reflection while still keeping Buildship as an optional dependency. The plugin will work without Buildship installed, but Gradle projects will get full functionality when it is available. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
