The development for the Liferay portal is quite nice by using a local develop environment with Eclipse, Mysql and Liferay. Therefore you should download the following components:<\/p>\n
<\/u>The basic installation and configuration of Liferay is described in part one of this series of articles. A good idea is to create a dedicated folder for your new project and place your Liferay installation inside in a separate folder.<\/p>\n
Next we have the Liferay SDK, the Liferay sources and the Liferray documentation that are to be extracted also in separate folders of your project directory. So we have the following directory structure:<\/p>\n
projectdir\r\n| liferay\r\n| sdk\r\n| src\r\n| doc<\/pre>\nThe folders for sources and documentation are project independent and can also be located on an different location. The Liferay and the SDK should be in your project directory, because they will be modified for and during your development process so that a reuse for other projects is not a really clever idea.<\/p>\n
Before entering the fascinating world of Liferay development we have do configure the Eclipse IDE. After installation of the Eclipse Liferay plugin and restart of the IDE you have first to configure the Liferayintegration.<\/p>\n
SDK Configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n
For configuration the SDK go to<\/p>\n
Window > Preferences > Liferay > Installed Plugin SDK<\/p>\n
Here we configure the existing SDK in our project directory.<\/p>\n
Click on Add Add, browse to the SDK folder, click on OK. The suggested name is mostly ok, feel free to adjust the name it has no functional impact. Check \u201eAdd Eclipse .project \u2026\u201c and \u201eOpen in Eclipse\u201c. Finish this step by clicking on OK. If everything was ok the list shows now a SDK entry with your Liferay Version. If not an incorrect path is often the cause.<\/p>\n
Liferay runtime configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n
Now the Liferay runtime configuration has to be done. Go to<\/p>\n
Window > Preferences > Liferay<\/p>\n
And click on \u201eCreate new Liferay runtime environment\u201c. Choose the entry of your Liferay version and click OK. Now you have to point to the Liferay server directory, click on Browse and choose the root directory of your Liferay server directory (that contains a tomcat directory etc.). Click OK and then on Next to configure the location of your Liferay documentation Javadoc folder, the sources and the Liferay-Tomcat-Bundle-Zip. Finish by clicking OK.<\/p>\n
Server configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n
The last step is to create a server. Click on \u201eCreate a new Liferay server\u201c. Choose your Liferay version and click Finish. Now click on OK. We\u2019re finished with configuration.<\/p>\n
Cleanup Liferay<\/strong><\/p>\n
Before you start your new server go inside of your Liferay-server directory to<\/p>\n
tomcat-<version-of-your-package>\/webapps<\/pre>\ndelete the folders that start with sevencogs<\/p>\n
then go inside of your Liferay-server directory to<\/p>\n
data<\/pre>\nand delete the hsql directory.<\/p>\n
Next is to start the configured Liferay server on the server-tab of Eclipse.<\/p>\n
Now you’re ready for your first Liferay project…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
