[Adam Hardy, modificado hace 11 años.]

I'm getting an exception in Eclipse Indigo with Liferay IDE 1.5.3 on jdk1.6.0_30 trying to open liferay-plugin-package.properties - this is the offending file, in the Liferay-portal-6.0.6 source code at support-maven/archetypes/liferay-layouttpl-archetype/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

It does work fine for my own liferay-plugin-package.properties. Have we got a bug?

[Gregory Amerson, modificado hace 11 años.]

Yeah this is a bug where the editor assumes that the properties file is located inside of a Liferay IDE project (eclipse-wtp-faceted-project with liferay facets) along with a targeted runtime (liferay portal runtime). Those are bad assumptions to make because just as you did, you may want to open a properties file that is in another location in your workspace (maven template or maven project) and that project is not necessarily a faceted-project with liferay facets. So this needs to be addressed.

Here is a ticket for this problem: http://issues.liferay.com/browse/IDE-632

I hope to get it fixed in the upcoming 1.6.0 release of IDE.
