We have released the first version of the OSGi Vaadin 23 Whitebaord at Maven Central. This implementation enables you to register Vaadin Components as OSGi service. These services are bound to a Vaadin Whiteboard, that then hosts the Vaadin appliation.

The dependencies can be found using these GAV ccordinates:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.geckoprojects.vaadin</groupId>
  <artifactId>org.gecko.vaadin.whiteboard</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.0</version>

</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.geckoprojects.vaadin</groupId>
  <artifactId>org.gecko.vaadin.generator</artifactId>

</dependency>

The first two dependencies are just needed to run an OSGi whiteboard based Vaadin UI. The generator dependency is used in bndtools to generate the frontend code.

The Github project also contain an example project, that can be used with bndtools in the Eclipse IDE.
