You need to add following entries in build.(user_name).properties in your plugin sdk. If you didn't find this file, you need to create it. set you directories like

app.server.parent.dir=D:\Projects\Site\liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1

app.server.portal.dir = D:\Projects\Site\liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\ROOT

app.server.lib.global.dir = D:\Projects\Site\liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\lib\ext

app.server.deploy.dir = D:\Projects\Site\liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42\webapps

app.server.type = tomcat

app.server.dir = D:\Projects\Site\liferay-portal-6.2.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.42

Hope this will help you.

It might be that you moved an installation and your current settings include a liferay.home that is different from what you expect.

At startup of Liferay, the log states what auto-deploy directory Liferay monitors. Look for a line in tomcat/logs/catalina.out that looks like this:

08:34:58,902 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1][ServerDetector:154] Server supports hot deploy
08:34:58,910 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1][PluginPackageUtil:1030] Reading plugin package for the root context
08:35:01,137 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1][AutoDeployDir:106] Auto deploy scanner started for /opt/lds/lds161/liferay-portal-6.1.20-ee-ga2/deploy

Also, whatever user Tomcat/Liferay runs as, needs to have read/write access to this directory as well as to tomcat's webapps directory in order for hot-deploy to work. Plugins will not be deployed if they can't be removed from the auto-deploy folder.

Commonly, you'll find a liferay.home setting in portal-setup-wizard.properties (this is the default parent directory of the deploy directory), but this setting might also have been transitioned into your database (in case you're wondering why changes to this value won't be picked up.

There are 2 questions I could see in your post.

1. Hot deployment is not working

Make sure you have specified the hot deployment folder in portal-ext.properties file.

auto.deploy.deploy.dir=/app/portal/liferay-portal-6/deploy

You can then deploy your war files in /app/portal/liferay-portal-6/deploy folder.

Liferay picks that up and puts that in /app/portal/liferay-portal-6/../server/default/deploy folder.

More details could be found here.

2. it moves to the deploy folder inside the Portal Bundle.But didn't get deployed

Do you see any exceptions in your logs? Doesn't it say 1 Portlet available for use?
