How to deploy a theme in liferay?

Question

I am trying to check if my theme project is running with the different version.

I downloaded all the versions that i need (6.2: ga1,ga2,ga3,ga4,ga5,ga6) and I configured the servers and the sdk for each server.

I did (Import -> liferay projects from plugins SDK). In the import window I got a message:

SDK version and Liferay runtime version may not be compatible.

I imported the theme and I tried to deploy it (liferay -> deploy) but I got an error:

Error running SDK command deploy java.lang.NullPointerException

I am using Eclipse Kepler-4.3 and Liferay 6.2.

Error Description

I tried Run As-> Ant Build

I got this error:

Buildfile: D:\FormationJEE\Liferay\Liferay-6.2-ce-ga2\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2-ce-ga2-20140319114139101\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\themes\material-admin\Material-admin-theme\build.xml

How to deploy a theme in liferay using the IDE and the Ant line command?

Update 2:

I moved the directory higher and I imported the project.

First I tested the GA1 version and I did (liferay -> deploy) it worked. Then when I tried to import the project for GA2, i got a message:

SDK version and Liferay runtime version may not be compatible.

The following picture shows the details:

In the Liferay target runtime, if I select a configuration for the SDK: GA2, GA3, GA4, GA5, GA6.

For example:

• Liferay Plugins SDK: liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2 (GA2)
• Liferay target runtime: Liferay v6.2 CE (GA2) (Tomcat 7)

Only if I select Liferay v6.2 SE (GA1) (Tomcat 7), The message gone.

If I select a configuration like this (GA2-GA2), ... ,(GA6-GA6) the message appeared.

If I select a configuration like this (GA1-GA1), (GA2-GA1), ... ,(GA6-GA1) the message gone.

For (GA1-GA1) he has no problems.

After I imported the project, I have this error message:

Update 3:

I had a compatibility problem with SDK version and Liferay runtime.

I tried to create build.yoursystemusername.properties file inside the plugin sdk.

These two lines deleted several errors for some version:

    ivy.jar.url=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/ivy/ivy/${ivy.version}/ivy-${ivy.version}.jar
ivy.version=2.3.0

When I tried to deploy the GA6 version I had this error: File name or extension too long

D:\FormationJEE\Liferay\Liferay-6.2-ce-ga6\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2-ce-ga6-20160112152609836\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\build-common.xml:178: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\jre\bin\java.exe": CreateProcess error=206, Nom de fichier ou extension trop long

Update 3:

To fix the error: File name or extension too long I renamed the names of the liferay-sdk and liferay-tomcat directories to short names like sdk and tomcat.

I tried to deploy a theme on the version GA6 but I got this error:

Answer 1

I should use one sdk 6.2 GA1 and deploy it on different portal. I have to leave the SDK to GA1 and change only the Liferay target runtime.

For example:

• Liferay Plugins SDK: liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2 (GA1)
• Liferay target runtime: Liferay v6.2 CE (GA2) (Tomcat 7)

The theme works well in all versions.
