Why the Vaadin CONNECT_JAVA_SOURCE_FOLDER_TOKEN property doesn't work

Question

The property vaadin.javaSourceFolder is deleted from the Vaadin BuildFrontendUtil.java at runtime like shown in line 471

Does anybody know how to define this property in order to change the javaSourceFolder?

Answer 1

You can define this in pom.xml

<plugin>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${vaadin.version}</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>prepare-frontend</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
             <configuration>
              <javaSourceFolder>${project.basedir}/src/main/java/com/example</javaSourceFolder>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
