Prototype Metl

This prototype is a testbed for techniques to be applied to the Metl project.

Scope

Features

1. Initialization and configuration
2. Main window and navigation (using Router)
3. Plugin maintenance
4. Flow execution
5. Security

Supporting Technologies

1. Java 17 (target Java 11 binary)
2. Gradle 7.6
3. Vaadin 23.3.0
4. Spring Boot 2.7.6 (not 3.0 due to requiring Vaadin 24)

Techniques

• Simplify dependencies using Spring
• Follow JumpMind conventions
• Unit tests for services
• Integration tests for UI
