Liferay build.properties

In this post I am going to discuss our build.[username].properties file.

I tried configure Liferay 7 and got this error 

"app.server.parent.dir" is not correct.

To configure Liferay environment previously I realized that this file namely 

build.[username].properties automatically created (but now may be I have some issue that this file is not generating automatically).

So to avoid this problem we first have to create this file.

[username] is name of computer user.

To know user name :

Please check out this https://it.nmu.edu/docs/determining-your-windows-username

I created a folder namely workspace,

Inside this folder I extracted liferay-ce-portal and liferay-sdk

Suppose my system user name is user, so I have to create a .properties file and file name must be build.user.properties file else at the time of creation of portlet it throws error.

My workspace location, path of all folders and files(Windows).

WorkSpace Path: D:\liferayWorkSpaces\LiferaySeven

Liferay portal path: D:\liferayWorkSpaces\LiferaySeven\liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga3
