VAADIN cannot find themes when in productionMode

You need to add following goal to your pom.xml, which will compile the .scss files to .css files: <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.2.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <goals> <goal>java</goal> </goals> <configuration> <classpathScope>compile</classpathScope> <mainClass>com.vaadin.sass.SassCompiler</mainClass> <arguments> <argument>src/main/webapp/VAADIN/themes/heijunka/styles.scss</argument> <argument>src/main/webapp/VAADIN/themes/heijunka/styles.css</argument> </arguments> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Source: http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/10291
