Hello !

I deployed the Liferay war file on a standalone Tomcat. Then I tried to deploy a ext plugin on it (right click on project -> Liferay -> SDK -> deploy). The following error is displayed :

BUILD FAILED
D:\Projets\Liferay\dev\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.0.6-20110225\ext\build-common-ext.xml:303: D:\Projets\Liferay\dev\serveur_web\apache-tomcat-6.0.33\lib\ext does not exist.

So here is my question :
How to configure plugin SDK with a non bundle Liferay release ?

Thanks,
Kevin.

There's additional steps to deploying Liferay on an existing tomcat, including the creation of the ${CATALINA_HOME}/lib/ext directory and dropping some shared jars in there. You also need to update the catalina.properties file to include the new directory handling.

All of this should already be documented in the wiki...

You should also ensure you have your server configured in your IDE correctly, or if just using the SDK in there.

you need the build.<username>.properties file in the SDK root folder and also may need the portal.ide.properties file in the tomcat bundle root (beneath the tomcat-6.0.29 directory)

It would help if you could tell us what file structure you do have rather than just the one it cannot find!

Not handy, but you should be able to find it by searching LR...

Ok, thanks. I would like to keep %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib as my global librairies directory for tomcat. So in build.${whoami}.properties of plugins SDK, I override the property app.server.lib.global.dir. But when I deploy a ext plugin with it, Liferay IDE replaces it with its own value. How can I override a property in build.${whoami}.properties ?

Hey Kevin,

You can go to Window > Preferences > Liferay > Install SDKs at the bottom of that page you will see some options and you can tell Liferay IDE to never overwrite the build.<user>.properties. Let me know if that works for you.
