Liferay 6.2 setup - HowTo for Developers

[Theodor Iancu, modificado 7 Anos atrás.]

Hi,
I want to install liferay 6.2. as developer and have few questions (I try the optimal combination for several days around with no really a success)

1. which JDK (or JRE) version (1.6, 1.7 or 1.8) should installed in windows10 (JAVA_HOME)
2. which eclipse version?
3. which Liferay-IDE version?
4. which jdk version in eclipse?
5. which java compiler version should configured in eclipse?
6. which MySQL version


Thanks in advance
Regards,
Theodor

So officially the LR6 jars are compiled for JDK 1.6 but the portal will run under 1.7 (and the very latest version may work under 1.8).

All that said, I use 1.7 and a 1.6 target when compiling.

Do not use a JRE, that will not work.

Use IDE 2.2.2. You can still download the bundled eclipse with the IDE, use that as it's ready to go w/ all necessary dependencies.

MySql can be any version, but if you use a later one than, say, 5.5 you should replace the mysql.jar in lib/ext with the latest one from the MySql connector-j project.

Where can the download for 2.2.2 Developer Studio be found?
Is there a way to get 3.0.0 to work with liferay 6.2?

And is there documentation available for devleoperstudio?
