We just started with a liferay extranet project. We want it to be as much mavenized as possible. So far I read how to get it working with Maven and have a working setup. But I have some questions regarding the folder structure:
Do I need an (unpacked) sdk at all?
How should the folder structure look like (in future there will be many portlets, themes, exts... plugins)?
at the moment my structure looks like this:
liferay-portal-6.1.20-ee-ga2 (liferay tomcat bundle)
|-deploy
|-tomcat-7.0.27
|...
project-folder
|-pom.xml (parent pom)
|-sample-portlet (created with archetype:generate)
Is this ok? or it is probably better to create subfolders for each plugin type? does this interfere with the archetype and the automated connection between parent-pom and modules?
Does the mavenization changes something with workflow of liferay developer studio? This will be the ide of choice.
To answer your questions
You don't need plugins-sdk at all!
I advice you to go for a multi module maven project, and I already see you using it.
Obviously when you go for a multi-module project you have the sub-folders created and each module corresponds to a separate archetype and of course, it depends on what type of project you create.
Here is the sample liferay-maven project structure I had.

I'm trying to create a Spring Boot project with multiple Maven modules. I've used the tutorial at https://spring.io/guides/gs/multi-module/ .
This site recommends a directory tree like this:
parent
application
src, and other subdirectories
pom.xml
library
src, and other subdirectories
pom.xml
pom.xml
I developed this project using Visual Source Code.
Wanting to see the project in another light, I tried to import the project directories into Spring Tool Suite. I'm using a recent one, where you apply the STS plugin to an up-to-date Eclipse installation.
Well, STS doesn't really like this project.
The (File, Open projects from file system) sees the project, but the Finish button doesn't actually do anything.
The (File, Import, General, Existing Projects into Workspace) imports a project, but as a Maven project (no "J" icon). When I try the (Run, Run Configurations) it won't see my project.
How can such a project be made friendly to Spring Tool Suite?
Thanks,
Jerome.
To make multi maven projects what you can do is, simply download two separate maven projects from start.spring.io and then extract them and move both folders to one parent folder and try grabbing the parent folder to Intellij, so it automatically downloads the dependencies and other requirement for the project in which we have two maven projects in one single entity
Eclipse can be a bit confusing with several different Wizards to import projects. Ironically the wizards are supposed to make importing projects easy, and in a sense they do... but... unfortunately picking the right wizard itself can be a bit challenging / confusing. Which wizard you use depends on the type of project.
Since your projects are maven projects, the best wizard to use would be the one for maven projects. You can find it at "File >> Import >> Existing Maven Projects".
So give that a try, point it at the 'parent' folder of your project and you should be presented with a relatively intuitive UI to import all 3 projects and configure them for use in Eclipse.
I am new to Stack Overflow because of my frustration to build a working Java EE 7 Project with Maven and IntelliJ ultimate.
I learned a lot about JPA and JSF in the last weeks and am thrilled to put my knowledge to use but unfortunately I am not able to create a working project structure as I get all sorts of errors along the way. I haven't found a single up to date tutorial which is working on the entire Internet.
My greatest achievement is creating a Maven project, and run the index page on a Jboss Wildfly (11) server.
I know Maven (3) requires a certain structure to work, I read that it is the one in picture 1.
Picture 1
Furthermore I know that I can add framework support by right clicking the project name and that I can add facets or modules by selecting files and project structure.
I would be very thankful if someone could explain the right creation of such a project. I already wasted double digit hours and lost a lot of fun.
I had to create a Maven Project with IntelliJ. After that I added JavaEE Application under Framework Support and checked the boxes for JSF and Web Application under Java EE aswell.
Now this doesn't work alone, I had to put this in the right structure Maven requires. I moved the META-INF Folder to main/src/resources. After renaming the web Folder to webapp, I moved it to src/main.
To check, go to Project Structure/ Facets and check if the paths are set correctly.
After adding a local Wildfly 11 Server Artifact (war), IntelliJ starts the default browser and I get to the index page.
The Project Structure
I recommend you take a look at JetBrains page, they have a lot of tutorials on how to use their products. Here how to create new Maven project:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/maven.html#maven_create_project
Also, here you have information how an example pom.xml file looks like and how to build it:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html
When you develop your project you can add dependencies to the pom.xml file
I am using Kepler to build a Eclipse-Maven project in eclispe. While making the project I am skipping archetype selection on first wizard. then I am selecting packaging as "war".
Eclipse provides me a basic structure after above steps. However, as this is my first Spring/Maven application, I am unable to completely understand the structure.
My Main issue is where to keep my web.xml. No WEB-INF folder is provided, while a META-INF folder is provided.
Also where to keep the basic Dispatcher-Servlet for project and others like root-context, servlet-context etc..
Do I need to create these folders by myself. If yes, Where please? As I am creating a RESTful service, I won't have any views but I guess web.xml is still a must. Currently I am unable to upload an image(nothing happens when I try uploading), will try again soon.
While making the project I am skipping archetype selection on first
wizard. then I am selecting packaging as "war".
You need to select the maven archetype as: maven-archetype-webapp to get the WEB-INF folder & web.xml

I am using alfresco 4.1.3 having following project structure.
I am using the ant script to build project.
Now I want to convert this project into maven based alfresco5.
I have configured alfresco5 using all-in-one archetype and I am able to run it successfully. My questions are:
How can I convert my alfresco ant based project in alfresco5 maven based?
Do I need to add src files in repo or repo-amp?
Do I need to copy all share related files in share or share-amp?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance.!!
That totally depends on the ant build setup. But one good guess is that you will have to put the files residing in the "Alfresco" folder of your old project into different subfolders of the repo-amp, and the same way around with the "Share" folder. Most files will go into those folders, you have to study the SDK-docs carefully to know into which folders the files will go. Depending of the nature of your extensions some files could go into the Share and Alfresco war-structure as well (additions to web.xml for example).
There are no "Swiss army knife" for that works for all cases here.
Good luck
Do the following things:
Create new project as maven project and provide group id (it's yours) artifact id as alfresco5 and version (ex:43.0.1-SNAPSHOT)
With this it creates maven based folder structure
src/main/java -> replace it with your src folder
3.src/main/resources ->add your Share, reference and Alfresco folders.
look at you lib directory..what ever .jar will be there you need to define it in dependencies under pom.xml
compile the whole project..if there are compilation errors then add required dependencies in pom.xml
I have a normal Netbeans project, and I would like to add the source packages of this project to a project that is a Maven Web Application, also within Netbeans.
I tried copy-pasting the packages into the /src project directory of the Maven application, but this doesn't seem to work.
Could someone please tell me how I could do this ?
If this is not possible, could someone tell me if I can convert the entire normal project into a Maven Web Application ? Thank you :)
It sounds like you need to add the dependency to your web-application instead of the source code, cause maven is intended to handle exactly such situations.
