Vaadin 25.3 browserless tests now follow user rules: if a user can't do it in the browser, the test can't either.
Still JVM-fast, no browser needed. Plus seven new component testers.

Theming tip for Vaadin 25.3: pair Copilot's new Aura theme editor with the all-components view.
Every component in your project, custom ones included, with all variants. Change a property, see it everywhere.

Modernizing a Swing app? SwingBridge 1.3 adds memory optimizations, 24- and 32-bit adaptive color and high-DPI support for Retina and 4K displays.

How do you know whether your docs and tools actually help AI agents? You measure it.
VaadinBench: real Vaadin tasks, graded by tests the agents never see. Benchmark and results are public.

In Veracode's 2026 tests, Java had the lowest security pass rate for AI-generated code of any language: 30%. It was also the only language clearly improving.
Setup matters more than the assistant. Six habits for Java teams:

Migrating a 53-screen JSF 2 app to Vaadin 25 with 7 AI agents in parallel.
Best lesson: tests were green while 13 forms rendered blank. Now no view closes until someone clicks through it in a browser.

Picking an AI coding tool for a Java team? We compared 8 (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Junie, Codex, Antigravity, Kiro, Moderne) on codebase context, IDE fit, MCP support, enterprise readiness and price.

New in Vaadin 25.3: Switch, Table (replacing NativeTable) and Breadcrumbs out of preview.
Plus Date Picker can disable specific dates, and ComboBox gets partial matching.

The Vaadin MCP server now gives your agent the full Java API for any class, and runs as a self-hosted Docker image, even air-gapped.
Plus a Directory MCP server for finding compatible add-ons.

Upgrading to Vaadin 25.3? SSO Kit, Collaboration Kit and AppSec Kit are deprecated ahead of Vaadin 26. Spring Security and shared signals replace them, with migration guides.

AI that fills in your forms is useful. AI you can audit is better.
Vaadin 25.3's AI form filler shows a confidence level for every field, where in the document each value came from, and lets you undo any single field.

A Vaadin Grid with 1,000,000 rows: from ~8 seconds to under 1.
Lazy loading, sorting and filtering in the database, and one data provider shared by Grid and ComboBox. Code along in 37 minutes:

Observability Kit 5 is rebuilt from scratch: no Java agent, one dependency in Spring Boot, plugs into Prometheus, Datadog or Grafana.
Plus Insights: route, component, click and failing line of code, structured for your AI agent.

Port a Swing app to Vaadin by swapping imports: javax.swing.* → vaadinx.swing.*
In a 65-file inventory app, 97.3% of lines stayed byte-identical. 40+ Swing components, blocking modal dialogs included.

Did your coding agent's change actually reach the running app?
Vaadin 25.3's Dev Loop CLI (preview) tells it: is the app running, hot-swap or restart, and is each change live.
Try the tutorial:
vaadin.com/docs/latest/build…
Record a macro, schedule it, or let an AI agent run it, all through your existing Vaadin UI and Spring Security rules.
In one test, Draiv (alpha) used about a sixth of the input tokens and half the time of a browser-driving agent.

Vaadin 25.3 is out, one of our largest feature releases yet.
Dev Loop for AI agents, a self-hosted MCP server, Observability Kit 5 without a Java agent, auditable AI form filling, a new Switch component and more.
