Is it possible to develop Vaadin applications using Community Edition, without Ultimate features? Generally, a basic Vaadin 7 application is a Java, but not a JavaScript or HTML, at least until you are going to develop your own components. For more licensing details, please visit the IntelliJ site You can also obtain a free license, if you work for an open-source product, you are a student or a teacher, etc.
