Hi Amy,<br /><br />There is nothing to expose <img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/happy.gif" > 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.<br /><br />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.

Folks,<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Amy
