Hi all,

When I tried to deploy my first ext plugin, I got the issue:

SEVERE: Error listenerStart

I also searched some posts and find out some useful post at: http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/8578278
I checked again, the issue is still taken.
The version I use: liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1, liferay-plugins-sdk-6.1.0

Anyone can help me. All suggestion is appreciated

manifest.nf

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.2
Created-By: 1.5.0_22-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Extension-List: crypto

have the same experience as yours. if manifest.mf has unix linebreak, it will get stuck. I simply delete this file and it can load successfully, you may try and see if it works for you.

I started getting this error after changing portal-ext incorrectly. It started working again when I removed the bad lines.
