Liferay Build Service Exception

Question

I'm developing an application with eclipse and liferay.

When I run the build-service to create all classes for my db, ant throws this:

    Buildfile: C:\Datos y Programas\liferay-plugins-sdk-6.2\portlets\EGGSOFT_PM-portlet\build.xml

I have reviewed all google, liferay posts, this site, and so on, and I’m not able to find an answer to this. All help you can give me to solve this issue is going to be appreciated.

Answer 1

Corrupted Liferay SDK.

I uncompress agnain the SDK, and now works.

Answer 2

Just make sure that you have all needed dependencies in your classpath. If you're using Maven (and if not - I strongly recommend you to migrate) just add this to your pom:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
            <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

Done.
