Liferay Development Workflow
New Member Posts: 2 Join Date: 5/5/09 Recent Posts
Folks,

This may totally expose my inexperience, but can someone please break down for me the software development workflow assuming you have your IDE on a workstation and you have your Liferay deployment on a server or cloud service some place?

I seem to remember with some development environments, you can develop code locally and deploy remotely. For example, with Cold Fusion, there was a tight linkage. With Liferay, it appears that I have to totally replicate my server environment on my development workstation, develop my code and then deploy a WAR file. This seems fairly manual and complicated. Is this really how the development workflow/deployment model works?

Thanks,
Amy

Hi Amy,

There is nothing to expose emoticon you are simply hitting on a development workflow that we have not yet addressed in Liferay IDE usage scenarios. Right now everything in the IDE assumes that you have a local plugins-SDK and liferay portal installed locally and runnable on your current machine.

There are longer term plans to support remote development workflows especially as cloud-based services of Liferay servers are more readily available, even perhaps from Liferay, Inc. ourselves. But right now all development workflow from the IDE is local.
