New Liferay project- there is no such an option

I want to create new liferay project but there is no option "Create new Liferay Project" in Eclipse IDE, there is only either "New Liferay Plugin Project" or "New Liferay Project from Existing Source" can somebody tell me why there is no possibility to create new Liferay project ?

Solution

  • What do you expect from a "Liferay Project" that's not a "Liferay Plugin Project"?

    This is just a naming glitch on both command's titles - in fact, both commands denote "Plugin Projects" for Liferay, despite the different names.

    When you create a new plugin project, you get a chance to define the plugin type in a wizard dialog. When you import a (plugin) project, the plugin type is derived from the actual project's content.
