I'm pleased to announce that there are two new tutorials on Liferay's Developer Network (LDN) for helping you with your Liferay Maven projects in Liferay IDE. Maven is a great build tool, but it can sometimes be difficult to manage. Fret not! Features recently added to Liferay IDE help manage your Liferay Maven projects.

The new tutorial Setting Up Liferay Maven Facets in Existing Liferay Maven Plugin Projects shows you how to add the required Liferay Maven facets to projects that you created outside of Liferay IDE, or in earlier versions of Liferay IDE. It also includes an explanation of what the Liferay Maven facets are and why they're required to make your project a first-class citizen in Liferay IDE. The second new tutorial, Adding Properties to a Maven Project in Liferay IDE, shows you how to use Liferay IDE's Quick Fix tool to add the Liferay properties required by Liferay Maven projects. If there are any additional details that you'd like to see in these tutorials, or in any of the other Maven tutorials on LDN, please let us know!

Special thanks goes out to Ashley Yuan, a member of the Liferay IDE team, for contributing the content for these tutorials. Thanks also goes out to Jim Hinkey of the Knowledge Management team for his guidance.
