Cannot create Liferay Plugin Project: "Type [unknown] not present"

When I'm trying to create a new Liferay Project (File > New > Liferay Plugin Project) I'm getting this error from Eclipse:

Problem Opening Wizard

My configurations are:

And I also tried New Liferay Project shortcut button which is on the Eclipse toolbar but didn't work either.

I followed this tutorial to set up Liferay on my local system.

Solution

  • This sounds very much like a problem with your Liferay-IDE setup. I've not seen it and you might want to either update it (through your standard eclipse plugin update mechanism) or if you don't want to do this on the currently (otherwise) working installation, just download&install a separate version of Liferay IDE.

    Eclipse and Liferay-IDE work just fine with any number of parallel installations - you just unzip to a different location and start that version. Preferably you should point to a new workspace (not to the old one) and create a Liferay server as well as a plugin there.

    It might be overly complex to consider "reinstallation" when it's just a missing component in your installation, but as a remote recommendation it's probably easier than to debug your installation from here to figure out what's actually missing and where to get it from.
