Stuck in "Creating Liferay plugin project..."

Question

Title says it all. Installed Ant (it's working, already checked), JDK 8, Liferay Portal 7, and downloaded the Liferay Plugins SDK. I already edited the build.properties, and set the "app.server.parent.dir" to the absolute direction of my Liferay server. I'm working in a W10 x64 environment.

Everything seems to be working well, except because I get stuck when greating a new Liferay Plugin Project, which is needed to develop portlets and so on.

It just doesn't give any error message, nor make the progress bar advance. It just gets stuck. When I cancel the operation, I can check the log in my workspace, whichs states the following:

Any idea on what's wrong?

Answer 2

Don't use Liferay Plugins SDK do develop for Liferay 7. Use Liferay Workspace instead. It allows you to use Maven and Gradle from both the CLI and from Liferay IDE.
