Liferay IDE - Eclipse

New Member Posts: 11 Join Date: 2/12/20 Recent Posts

I have a Eclipse-Neon in which Liferay inbuilt, Which I used for development. As I'm using it for years, there is lots of code written through this version.
Now I'm looking to update my eclipse with newer version, but i'm facing comptibility issue.

I have downloaded the eclipse2020-12 and Liferay Plugin ( https://releases.liferay.com/tools/ide/latest/stable/ ), but error is showing up in all of my Liferay Portlets, I have fixed issue but, still I'm not sure, this will work or not.

Can Anyone suggest me, eclipse IDE in which liferay is in-built or some other way, so that I can avoid any error in my legacy code.

I usually just use the latest IDE provided by Lifery. It doesn't use the newest Eclipse, but I don't care. Do you need any newer features?

Essentially Eclipse (except for the many other features) just uses gradle to build the project. If it builds fine, you are probably fine. Since you do not mention what issue you had (which makes any kind of diagnosis pretty hard) and since it works now ...

I only know there is/was some gradle build issue with the most current Eclipse, something with the gradle plugin versions differing in Eclipse (using 6.x) and the Liferay workspace (using 5.6). After fixing that (If I recall correctly by changing the version in the workspace to 6.x too) it seems to work fine for someone I know.
