maybe you should make a build.{user.name}.properties file and add some configuration infor into it. such as
app.server.parent.dir = D:\\dev java\\portal\\liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga5
app.server.type = tomcat
and so on to point your sdk to a valid liferay portal bundle.

I found for Windows I had to make sure in my properties file that the forward slash was used (not typical backslash as windows wants when navigating) for example:
app.server.parent.dir=C:/LifeRayPortal/liferay-portal-7.0-ce-ga1

And the other issue I found is that since I copied the original build_properties files the section under Tomcat bundles (since that is what I am using) I had to change the tomcat directory to match the version I unzipped:
# Specify the paths to an unzipped Tomcat bundle.
app.server.tomcat.dir=${app.server.parent.dir}/tomcat-8.0.32

Steven, for Windows a slash is always best in Java configuration files: Java will well accept it as directory separator, while it might interpret \ as escape. You'll need \\ in that case - and indeed that's your alternative notation. I prefer the forward-slash in all cases and on all platforms (with the notable difference of batch-files, where you will need the backslash)

Dear Greg,

Thank you for this blog, very useful.
By any chance, do you know if there will be a "Remote Liferay Server" plugin available so that users will be able to connect a running DXP server to their Developer Studio?
Thank you very much in advance,
Peter
