Why the SDK with the installed plugins does not appear under Liferay in the settings of the Windows Liferay IDE

Question

I installed the Liferay IDE on the following website:

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

The end of the instructions says

Now configured runtime. Then you need to register the SDK plugins.

Select the window → Settings → Liferay → Installed SDK plugins.

Click Add. Go to the folder where you unzipped the plugins SDK and click "OK."

Click OK again.

But when I go to Windows -> Preferences -> Liferay, there are no installed SDKs with plugins installed. Only the following:

Maven Plugin Validation XML Search

Answer 1

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

I installed the latest stable version (2.2.x) of Liferay-IDE, and the option to configure SDK plugins is available.

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

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