Helper to add Vaadin pre-releases repository to the project

[mcollovati]

When testing a Vaadin pre-release, the following configurations should be added to the POM file, as documented in the release notes (e.g. https://github.com/vaadin/platform/releases/tag/24.5.0.beta3)

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>vaadin-prereleases</id>
        <url>
            https://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases/
        </url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>vaadin-prereleases</id>
        <url>
            https://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases/
        </url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

A developer could define a "Live Templates" to make the process quicker, but it would be helpful if the Vaadin IDEA plugin could provide a way to automatically add the setting in the POM file (or simply provide the template).

Something similar could also be probably helpful for Gradle projects.

There is also ”npx upgrade-vaadin 24.5.0.beta3” that does this

Good to know, thanks.

It might be a feature of Copilot itself
