Building the Social Office Trunk using the Liferay IDE

This article covers building the Liferay Social Office Trunk using the Liferay IDE and a Trunk Build of Liferay Portal 6.1.0. This article assumes that Liferay 6.0 Development on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 was used to setup the development environment.

/home/{username}/opt and /home/{username}/workspace will be the paths used for eclipse and its workspace

Switch the SVN Repositories Perspective in Eclipse.

Expand:

svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/portal

Right-click trunk and choose checkout
Change the Project Name to liferay-portal-trunk and click Next

Create the directory /home/{username}/workspace/bundles/liferay-social-office-trunk on the system.
Right-click liferay-portal-trunk in the Package Explorer and go to New > File
Call the file app.server.{username}.properties
Open the file and add the following to it:

##
##Server Directory
##

app.server.parent.dir=/home/{username}/workspace/bundles/liferay-social-office-trunk

Build the initial Tomcat Bundle by doing the following:

Go to Window > Show View > Other > Ant > Ant
Drag the build-dist.xml file from the liferay-portal-trunk project to the new Ant view.
Expand portal-dist in the Ant View and double-click unzip-tomcat
Drag the build.xml file from the liferay-portal-trunk project to the Ant view.
Expand portal and double-click all. This will compile the Liferay Portal Trunk and deploy it into the new bundle created above.
Once the build finishes, you should have a very familiar looking bundle. The Server can then be used with the Liferay IDE as normal.==== Define Liferay Social Office Server in Eclipse ====

Create a new Liferay Server in eclipse by doing the following:

Switch to the Liferay Perspective in Eclipse
Click the Server tab
Right-click in the Servers Pane and choose New > Server
Select Liferay, Inc. > Liferay v6.0 Server (Tomcat 6)
Click Add... on the Server runtime environment line with the following settings:

Name: Social Office Trunk Server (Tomcat 6)
Liferay Tomcat directory: /home/{username}/workspace/bundles/liferay-social-office-trunk/tomcat-6.0.29

Social Office is made up of the following components:

Hook Plugins

so-hook

Portlets

chat-portlet
contacts-portlet
microblogs-portlet
private-messaging-portlet
so-portlet
todays-events-portlet
weather-portlet
wysiwyg-portlet
tasks-portlet

Theme

so-theme

These components reside in different parts of the Liferay Subversion Repository based on where they are in the development cycle. Some exist in the Plugins Trunk while others exist in Plugins Incubation

Method 1 in Liferay IDE Sharing Projects will be used in order to check the components out into the local workspace.

Expand

svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/incubation/portlets

Right-click contacts-portlet and choose checkout
Leave the default project name of contacts-portlet and click Next
Uncheck: Use default workspace location
Browse to: /home/{username}/workspace/liferay-plugins-sdk/portlets
Also check out the following components:

svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/hooks/so-hooksvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/tasks-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/microblogs-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/chat-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/private-messaging-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/so-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/todays-events-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/weather-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/portlets/wysiwyg-portletsvn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/themes/so-theme

The projects will need have their Build Paths fixed as well as be converted to a Faceted project.

Right-click chat-portlet and choose Properties
Go to Java Build Path
Go to the Projects tab and remove portal-trunk
Go to the Libraries tab and remove all of the JAR files listed.
Click Project Facets
Click the link Convert to faceted form...
Check Dynamic Web Module and change the version to 2.5
Click the link Further configuration available... at the bottom of the screen
Set the Content directory to: docroot and uncheck Generate web.xml
Click OK to apply the settings
Back in Liferay perspective, right-click chat-portlet once again and choose Liferay > Convert to Liferay plugin-in project
Select Social Office Trunk Server (Tomcat 6) as the Liferay target runtime and click Finish

Follow the above steps for the remaining projects: contacts-portlet, mail-portlet, so-hook, so-portlet, tms-portlet, weather-portlet and wysiwyg-portlet.

so-theme doesn't have a Java Build Path because its not a Java project yet. Do the following steps to fix so-theme:

Right-click so-theme and choose Properties
Go to Project Facets
Click the link Convert to faceted form...
Check Dynamic Web Module and change the version to 2.5
Check Java and make sure the version is 1.6
Click the link Further configuration available... at the bottom of the screen
Remove the src folder
Set the Default output folder to: docroot/WEB-INF/classes and click Next
Set the Content directory to: docroot and uncheck Generate web.xml
Click OK to apply the settings
Back in Liferay perspective, right-click so-theme once again and choose Liferay > Convert to Liferay plugin-in project
Select Social Office Trunk Server (Tomcat 6) as the Liferay target runtime and click Finish

Follow the same steps to fix the todays-events-portlet project

Once everything is converted to a Liferay Project, drag and drop them on the Liferay Social Office Trunk Server.

Start the Liferay Social Office Trunk Server. Once the Server is started, right-click it and choose Liferay > Open Portal Home

If all goes well it should display Social Office. Sign on with the default username/password of admin/admin

Nice article! I don't think I could have made it without it. I still have one problem though, when I tried to convert project to Liferay, I get a Null Pointer Exception.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.liferay.ide.eclipse.project.core.util.PluginFacetUtil.configureWebFacet(PluginFacetUtil.java:205)

Since we are taking the code from the trunk, should I be checking out the SDK too? Right now, I'm using 6.0.5
