Liferay Plugin SDK is a development environment allows you to develop plugins for Liferay of all types such as Portlet, Themes, Layout Templates. The Liferay Plugin SDK is based on the Apache Ant tool and it can be integrated with all the common IDEs or used directly from the command line by executing a set of predefined commands (targets, in Ant’s nomenclature). In this tutorial I show how to configure the Plugin SDK in the Eclipse IDE.

Hi,
I am not getting Installed SDK option. How to get it??
Hello Siva,
did you check the application stack at the start of the article? This tutorial was written for Eclipse Luna and Liferay IDE 2.2.x.
It seems Liferay IDE didn’t have “Installed SDKs” option since IDE 3.0.0 or greater.
Fortunatelly, the first time you create a New Liferay Plugin Project then it will be required to set your SDK location before pressing finish button in the wizard. Take a look at this thread:
