Why does the Installed Plugin SDKs not show up Under Liferay in the Liferay IDE Windows Preferences

Question

I installed the Liferay IDE according to the following web site:

https://dev.liferay.com/develop/learning-paths/mvc/-/knowledge_base/6-2/developing-apps-with-liferay-ide

At the end of the instructions it says

Your runtime is now set up. Next, you need to register your Plugins SDK.

Select Window → Preferences → Liferay → Installed Plugin SDKs.

Click Add. Browse to the folder where you unzipped the Plugins SDK and click OK.

Click OK again.

But when I go to Windows -> Preferences -> Liferay, there is no Installed Plugin SDKs. Only the following:

Maven Plugin Validation XML Search

Answer 1

I found out that the 3.0.0 M2 (March 2016) version of the Liferay-IDE release does not have that option in the Windows Preferences

I installed the Latest stable release (2.2.x) of the Liferay-IDE and the ability to setup the Plugins SDKs is available.

Answer 2

Refer to this link - https://web.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/72090414

Just create a new plugin project and choose the sdk during a new plugin project setup.
