Vaadin Compile widgets (addons) in NetBeans

Question

I'm following the provided instructions but is not working. I'm getting this error:

INFO: Widgetsets found from classpath:
com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.DefaultWidgetSet in jar:file:Z:/vaadin/vaadin-6.7.1.jar!/
org.vaadin.peter.contextmenu.ContextmenuWidgetset in jar:file:Z:/NetBeans/Xinco/2.01.xx/XincoLibs/ContextMenu3.1.0.jar!/

getAvailableWidgetSets
INFO: Search took 12ms
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume     label syntax is incorrect

at com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.widgetsetutils.WidgetSetBuilder.updateWidgetSet(WidgetSetBuilder.java:79)
at com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.widgetsetutils.WidgetSetBuilder.main(WidgetSetBuilder.java:52)

I found a related bug but it's been reported for a long time without fix yet. Any ideas besides checking/modifying the code myself?

Edit: Looking closer at the output I noticed this errors:

I found this post about this issue pointing out to be a library mismatch but I'm using jars from the Vaadin SCM for the correct release: https://vaadin.com/forum/-/message_boards/view_message/384826

Answer 1

Issue finally fixed, hopefully that does the trick. After that had to add the following jars to the project so it could be compiled:

1. validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar
2. validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar
