Vaadin Pro Account Adds Tools and Support for the Open Source Framework

TURKU, Finland, February 25, 2011 - Vaadin, the company behind the popular open source Vaadin Framework,
today announced the availability of Vaadin Pro Account. The new offering is a
subscription to a set of commercial tools, components and support to
complement and speed up the use of the free framework.

"Open source is a norm in the core frameworks that Java developers use
today. With the permissive Apache license, companies get a guaranteed control
over the technologies they depend on. Vendors are still needed as a backup,
to resolve problems and to speed up development with additional tooling. With
the fully free Vaadin Framework complemented by the new commercial Vaadin Pro
Account, we can now offer the best of the both worlds without stepping on the
toes of our wonderful open source community," explains Joonas Lehtinen, CEO
of Vaadin Ltd.

Vaadin Framework provides a server-centric development model for building
desktop-like user interfaces for business applications used with a web
browser. This combines the convenient deployment and maintenance model of web
with a rich user experience and a very cost-effective development model.

"Vaadin Framework just turned 10 years old. We are pleased to see that it
has been able to become one of the most modern development frameworks with a
unique end-to-end Java value proposition. With Vaadin Pro Account, we are
ready to support the growth and progress of the technology for the
foreseeable future," continues Joonas Lehtinen.
