Liferay IDE is a collection of Eclipse plugins created by Liferay, Inc. to support developing applications, e.g. portlets, hooks, themes, etc, for the Liferay Portal platform.
To get started, check out the project's community homepage at http://www.liferay.com/community/liferay-projects/liferay-ide
To install the Liferay IDE plugins into your Eclipse install using either the stable or milestone updatesite:
- Latest stable release (2.0.x): http://releases.liferay.com/tools/ide/stable/
- Latest milestone release towards 2.1: http://releases.liferay.com/tools/ide/latest/milestone/
- Additional downloads available here: https://www.liferay.com/downloads/liferay-projects/liferay-ide
All of Liferay IDE's source code resides in this current repository. Liferay IDE
releases are built from this repository and the output of the build is an
Eclipse style update-site that can be used to install the Liferay IDE plugins
into a user's Eclipse installation. Freshly built updatesites will reside in
the target folder of the build/releng/com.liferay.ide-repository/
module.
To get up and running quickly, download a pre-built Liferay IDE release and install it into your Eclipse install. Follow the Installation Guide for instructions. Then use the Getting Started Tutorial for how to create and deploy a Liferay Project using Liferay IDE.
Liferay IDE versions do not coorespond with Liferay Portal but instead follow their own versions.
- 1.x - supports Liferay Portal 6.0 and 6.1 and only PluginsSDK based projects
- 2.x - (at this time still in development) supports Liferay Portal 6.2 and also Maven based Liferay projects
