• Speedup startup time by excluding jars
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  Optimize class scanning of VaadinServletContextInitializer by excluding some commonly used jars and add support for vaadin.blocked-jar boolean property in META-INF/VAADIN/package.properties to exclude whole jar content from the class scanner.

• Added HasLabelAsText interface to NativeButtonElement.
  Commit · Pull request

• Filterable class scanning of JAR
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  This change improves optimization of class scanning of VaadinServletContextInitializer by reading optional configuration file within a JAR dependency. Configuration file is a regular properties file that can contain vaadin.allowed-packages or vaadin.blocked-packages to exclude/include packages being scanned by VaadinServletContextInitializer. Package exclusion/inclusion effects only classes in the JAR/module where META-INF/VAADIN/package.properties is located at. Notice that this is only affecting the performance of the class scanning of Vaadin specific annotations and types and this feature is not meant to be used for excluding packages from the whole application. E.g. excluding VaadinServiceInitListener in a Spring application is not stopping Spring and Vaadin initializing it anyway, although some time-consuming actions like DevModeServletContextListener would still exclude it for optimization.

• Add raw html table and related components
  Commit · Pull request

• Create converters for numeric values from NumberField
  Commit · Pull request · Issue
