J it only takes a minute:
I am trying to use IntelliJ Idea to translate some scss files to css but I am getting strange errors from Tomcat Catalina log (WARNING: Scss file VAADIN/themes/mytheme/styles.scss exists but ScssStylesheet was not able to find it)
Here is an image with the File Watcher settings :
And here is an image with my files :

I?m not sure about your server error, but my configuration requires some Enviroment variables and an absolute path to scss.bat to performe an complete compilation.
In my case:
//where my ruby installation is found
C:\Ruby200\bin\scss.bat
Enviroment variables:
PATH=C:\Ruby200\bin
It seems that file watchers is not the correct solution for IntelliJ Idea 13 since the intellij idea vaadin plugin is compatible with IntelliJ Idea 12.
So to have the scss files get compiled I thought of a workaround that uses the vaadin-maven-plugin.
You can read the whole article I have written to my blog in this link :
In short the user must run a maven goal (vaadin:compile-theme) and set it to run before make.

Important Information
(including basic principles
for I2I Grants and
eligibility for college-based researchers)
The objective of the Idea to Innovation
(I2I) Grants &is to accelerate the pre-competitive
development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector and
promote its transfer to a new or established Canadian company. The I2I Grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to
support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer
potential. This is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance
in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.
Description
Four distinct funding options are proposed, which are characterized by the maturity of the technology or the involvement of an early-stage investment entity or an industrial partner (see
for definitions). In the Market Assessment,
NSERC will share costs of an independent and professional market study with the
institutions (including the industry liaison office [ILO] or its equivalent). In Phase I, the
direct costs of research will be entirely supported by NSERC; in Phase II, they
will be shared with a private partner. The technology development may begin
with a Phase I project (Reduction-to-Practice Stage), followed by a Phase II
project (Technology Enhancement) or, if the development is at a later stage, it
can start directly with a Phase II project. In any case, the combination of
Phase I and Phase II will be limited to a maximum of three years' funding for
any given project.
Eligible research and development activities include (but are not limited to):
refining and
performing beta trials.
Certain expenditures related to project management are now eligible as a direct cost of research in Phase IIb projects, up to a maximum of 10 percent of the total direct costs (see the ).
The discoveries must be disclosed by the
investigators according to institution policy and the ILO or its equivalent must endorse and work
on each new proposal.
phases except the Market Assessment, the projects must describe the strategy to
protect the commercial value of the technology and relate it to the
commercialization strategy. Filing of patents, trademark, trade secrets and copyrights
are tools that can be used to protect the commercial val if
you are using them, you need to explain how they will help you bring the
technology to market. There are many situations in which patent protection is not
the id in those cases, a greater focus should be placed on
the go-to-market strategy. Note that the patent landscape and Freedom to Operate
related to the technology should be discussed even if you don&t plan on filing
All proposals must include a technology transfer
plan, appropriate to the maturity of the technology, that describes how the
work will proceed through the next stages in the validation process up to
eventual market entry. The ILO or its equivalent assists the applicant(s) in evaluating and
protecting the new technology,
preparing a technolo maki and
negotiating licensing or other such arrangements with potential partners. A
portion of the award may be used to co-support some of the activities
undertaken by the ILO or
its equivalent.
Eligible technology transfer activities include (but are not limited to):
consulting fees to
develop the strategy to protect the technology&
consulting fees
for business plan, market survey, etc.;
business mentoring
sharing of pate and
associated with creating a partnership (such as travel, etc.).
The institution must justify these technology transfer activities expenses and commit itself to bear at least half of their cost. NSERC may provide support up to a maximum of 10&percent of the total requested amount (i.e., the NSERC contribution will be no more than $12,500 for a $125,000 requested budget). Staff activities are not considered an eligible expense and cannot be used to leverage NSERC funds. Technology transfer
expenses related to the proposed technology and incurred previously will not be
considered in the cost-sharing
of proposed activities.
Market Assessment
Market Assessment projects are designed
to enable institutions to do a market study for a product, process or
technology they plan to develop. Understanding market potential is crucial when
developing a new technology. The Market Assessment funding option is a tool to help identify
industry and market issues. It can be used to better position a proposed
technology in an I2I application
(to provide the reviewers with a better
understanding of the market for a given technology) or identify the
appropriate NSERC program.
The market assessment should precede a Phase I
proposal, if the applicant and ILO or its equivalent have not yet developed an understanding of
the potential market. In certain instances, like development of a platform
technology, requests for a market assessment can be submitted as a standalone
proposal at the same time as a Phase I application.
The aim of the market assessment should be to address essential questions such as: What is the problem or opportunity? What is the frequency or extent of the problem or opportunity? Who is looking to solve the particular problem or take advantage of the opportunity, and are they willing to pay to solve it? What is the proposed solution to address this identified problem or opportunity, and who will pay for the solution? Why has this problem not been solved already? What barriers exist? What is being proposed to
overcome the barriers? How is it different than existing solutions, and why
will someone choose
the proposed solution instead? Applicants may wish to consider other relevant
questions and can outline these in the proposal.
Furthermore, it is important that the
market assessment objectively establishes market size, demonstrating real
market opportunity. Primary
research (e.g., surveys, polls) is strongly encouraged.
The application should demonstrate what
approach, activities and tools (i.e., SWOT analysis, PEST) are planned to
address the above questions. These studies should be conducted by an
experienced professional such as an outside consulting firm. A tender of service from the consultant listing
the scope, deliverables and other relevant elements is required.
NSERC will co-support up to three-quarters of the
costs of the project contracted out to a consultant, with the institution
providing the balance in cash (a person employed part-time or full-time at an ILO or its equivalent
cannot act as an external consultant on an I2I&Market Assessment project).
Funding is available for up to 12&months, with a maximum contribution from
NSERC of $15,000.
Funding is non-renewable.
Phase I ? Reduction-to-Practice Stage
Phase I reduction-to-practice projects are designed
to advance promising technologies in order to attract early-stage investment
and/or to build valuable intellectual
property (e.g., strengthening
the commercial value of the technology, broadening patent claims or
strengthening licensing opportunities) in anticipation of transferring the
technology to a new or established company.
One of the main reasons why Phase I
proposals are rejected is that the technology is at too early a stage to be
eligible for the I2I Grants.
Phase I proposals must be based on strong scientific evidence and present the
following elements:
The technology must be sufficiently mature. The basic parameters of the concept must have already been explored, and sufficient testing should have been done to assess the potential of the innovation to work in a &product& environment or for its intended purpose.
There must be a clearly identified and well-described potential
market. Meaningful letters of support from potential receptors, end-users/clients and
industrial value-chain players may be very useful.
The content of the technology transfer section should address the
asked through the market assessment portion.
Involvement of
experienced business mentors is recommended when the team is planning to spin
off a new company.
A company may be involved as a testing bed for the
technology (i.e., potential client). However, when a collaborating company is
the intended receptor for the technology (i.e., the company that will market the end
product), the cost
of the project should be shared with this partner and the application submitted
as a Phase IIb proposal.
Funding is available for up to 12 months, at a maximum of $125,000, and is non-renewable. NSERC will assume 100 percent of the direct costs of research for Phase I projects.
Each project is expected to have a &go/no-go& decision point, representing the achievement of a predefined scientific or engineering milestone, at the end of Phase I when either seed funding will be provided by an early-stage investment entity or the technology will be further developed with an established or start-up company.
All Phase I proposals require a plan describing how a partnership will be established with a Canadian company that has the capacity to commercialize the research results. Although a business partner is not a prerequisite for Phase I applications, a demonstration of interest may strengthen the proposal. It is expected that technologies implicitly or explicitly committed to a specific receptor organization or industrial partner will be submitted as Phase II applications. This may not apply if the intention is to create a spin-off company.
NSERC offers an I2I Phase Ib supplement. This
funding, up to $60,000 for six months, can be made available for successfully
completed Phase I projects with high promise to secure an investor or a
licensing company. ILOs or their equivalent should contact their
information.
Phase II ? Technology Enhancement
Phase II projects are designed to provide scientific or engineering evidence establishing the technical feasibility and market definition of the technology, process or product. Phase II projects require an early-stage investment entity (Phase IIa) or a company (Phase IIb) to share the costs of the project. The supporting organization is expected to participate actively in the planning of the project. The proposals fall into two categories according to the partner involved as described below.
Phase IIa ? Early-stage Investment Partner
Proposals with an early-stage investment entity
must be designed with a &go/no-go& decision point, after six to 18&months,
representing the achievement of a predefined scientific or engineering
milestone that justifies moving forward by further developing the technology
either through a new (i.e., start-up) or established company. NSERC can support
up to two-thirds of the costs of the project with the early-stage investment
entity providing the balance in cash. Funding requested from NSERC should not
exceed an average of $125,000 per year.
The partnering firm must provide input into the technology transfer
plan and contribute at least a third of the funds required for the
It is expected that the collaborator has the financial strength to
carry the project into Phase IIb or directly to market. If this seed
funding will support a spin-off or entrepreneurial start-up, the financial
standing of the firm will be closely scrutinized in the evaluation.
The technology transfer terms must be disclosed.
The science has to be substantiated to the point that its end
product is easily identifiable.
Thorough market research is required and potential buyers/markets
must be specified. Meaningful letters of support from potential receptors, end-users/clients,
industrial value-chain players are very useful.
Well justified budgets are a prerequisite, and indications of
future financial requirements, as well as the plan to secure these funds,
should be provided.
Involvement of experienced
business mentors is required when the team is planning to spin off a new
Projects that achieve critical
milestones may be pursued during another six- to 24-month period with either the newly created
company or an established Canadian company providing the cost-sharing
arrangement for Phase IIb projects are met.
Phase IIb ? Partnership with a Canadian Company
Most of the requirements for Phase IIa listed above also apply to Phase IIb applications. As well, if the development of the technology was supported by a previous I2I phase, proof that the objectives of the earlier project were achieved must be provided, specifically:
the &prototype& must alr

adequate budgets are required to show that the product will be at
the marketing/manufacturing stage at the end of the Phase IIb G and
the &in-kind& contributions should be fully justified as
they will be carefully scrutinized.
Phase IIb proposals with a Canadian company are expected to be completed within two years, and funding requested should not exceed $350,000 for the duration of the project. NSERC may fund up to half the cost of the project, with the company providing the other half through a combination of cash and in-kind contributions. Each case will be eva however, it is expected that the cash component should equal at least 40&percent of the amount requested from NSERC.
The industrial partner must have, or be able to acquire by the end of the project, the technical capability to undertake any further development necessary to take the product or process to market. The company receiving the technology should be prepared to carry out a market study, product/process development, engineering, and sales and marketing planning required to establish that a technology is viable, and to enter the market successfully.
The ILO or its equivalent is expected to assist the applicant(s) and the
partner in developing proposals, identifying markets and negotiating licensing
or other such arrangements.

Application Procedures
Application forms, guidelines and application
are available.
Applications are submitted by a college or university researcher (or research group) and, for Phase II projects, in association with an eligible partner. In the latter case, the institution and early-stage investment partner or company should have in place, prior to application, a licensing (or similar) agreement relating to the right to exploit the invention or discovery. All new proposals are expected to be developed in close collaboration
with the institution's ILO
or its equivalent. The
ILO or its
equivalent involved in the application must be identified at the
beginning of the technology transfer section of the proposal.
NSERC staff
is willing to review draft proposals submitted sufficiently in advance of the
application deadline.
Since I2I projects are focused on the rapid realization of well-defined objectives, it is expected that all budget items are for costs directly related to achieving these objectives. Therefore, any request for expenses, such as publications, attendance and/or travel to conferences are not expected in the budget. If some activities are deemed necessary, they must be justified according to the objectives.
Since projects submitted for I2I&Grants are
clearly time-limited
and for applied work, they may not be appropriate for graduate students.
Personnel should be chosen in view of their ability to deliver on the
objectives.
Review Procedures
All proposals are reviewed by a selection committee
with input from external reviewers, as required. The selection committee is composed of individuals
with expertise in business areas such as academic and industrial project
management, early-stage investing, marketing, and technology transfer. External
reviewers are chosen for their scientific/technical knowledge and/or practical
experience in the research field.
Selection Criteria
Phase I and Phase II applications will be evaluated against the following criteria. Note that the selection committee will use a subset of the selection criteria, plus additional ones specifically related to market assessment, to review the Market Assessment applications.
Scientific/technical merit
Scientific basis for the expected commercial application.
Clarity and focus of research objectives.
Novelty, technical complexity, technical risk and feasibility.
Appropriateness of work plan, milestones, deliverables and decision points.
Team expertise and project management
Breadth and depth of team expertise in the proposed fields of activity.
Adequacy of personnel and material resources
allocated for research and technology
transfer activities.
Quality of project management.
Potential for technology transfer and commercial benefits
Commitment of the institution through its technology transfer office (or equivalent).
Appropriateness of the technology management and transfer plan.
Anticipated benefits for a Canadian company.
Justification of the benefits of NSERC financing.
Market assessment
Need for a market assessment.
Appropriateness of the deliverables.
Suitability of the proposed plan.
Justification of the benefits of NSERC financing.
Criteria specific to each phase are detailed further in the application instructions.
Partner Eligibility
NSERC will evaluate the eligibility of
sponsors before accepting proposals for review. The following organizations may
be considered as eligible partners:
Early-stage investment group: This term refers to either venture capital, a seed capital funding entity, angel investors, university technology transfer corporations, incubators or other similar funding or technology transfer organizations. Organizations that have received public funds as seed funding, but are functioning in a competitive environment and are required to achieve self-sufficiency within a pre-determined time period, may be considered as equivalent to industry.
Companies: Normally, participating companies must be Canadian. Companies outside Canada may also be considered as partners provided they can demonstrate that there will be clear and direct benefits to the Canadian economy as a result of their participation. As partners, companies must demonstrate that they have, or have the potential to acquire, the capability to commercialize the technology under development.
Researcher-owned companies: A researcher's own consulting company or sole proprietorship is not eligible to collaborate on a project in which the researcher is the applicant or co-investigator. Situations where the researcher is a part owner are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the company's stage of development will be taken into consideration in determining the eligibility. The commercial activity must conform to the institution's established policies relating to the disclosure of commercial interest and conflict of interest.
A report to assess the practical and financial
outcomes of funded projects will be required at the end of all projects. The
report requires the input of the technology transfer office. For Market
Assessment projects, NSERC will request a copy of the Market Assessment
prepared by the consultant. NSERC is aware that market studies may contain
proprietary and confidential information. Documents submitted to NSERC become
subject to the Access to Information Act. Note that, if an Access to Information request for
a market assessment is received, the applicant/institution will be consulted
and provided the opportunity to make representations in accordance with section
20(1) of the Act. Financial, commercial, scientific and technical information
that is confidential information supplied to NSERC by a third party
(consultant) and is treated consistently in a confidential manner by the third
party can be protected.
For Phase II projects, the amount of the
second instal consequently, the applicant(s) must provide an interim report as
well as statements of actual expenditures and of anticipated future costs.
Based on the results obtained or problems encountered, grantees may propose
amendments to the project objectives, milestones or budget. The next installment will not be
released until the partner has confirmed that it has met its current year&s
commitment and that it intends to support the project in the next year.
Resubmission
An applicant wishing to resubmit a
project that was previously rejected must contact NSERC&staff to discuss the matter. It should
be understood that the final recommendation is made to NSERC by the selection
committee. Since the selection committee will consider not only the technical
merit of a project, but also its soundness from a business perspective, the
committee&s recommendations may not be consistent with the opinions expressed
by external reviewers. The main reasons for a rejected project are provided in
the decision letter and must be adequately addressed before a project is sent
again to the selection committee for evaluation. If a project is considered to
be at a stage that is too early,
a resubmission would not be possible unless significant technical
progress has been achieved. A cover letter documenting improvements to the
application will be required.
